Yes, there is no image at all, unless I use the "close the lid on
startup" trick (then, the image is ok, but only on the external screen
; six months ago, I got the image on both displays).

It works better. I got an image on the LCD _and_ on the external
screen, the image on the screen is ok (no waves). The LCD uses
1024x768 and the external screen 640x480. This becomes almost
usable. :)

OK, this works fine without it.

Is there any way to hard code the params in XF86Config-4 ?

I can do this but I have little experience in hardware programming.

Thanks, I can now get 1024x768 ! 

No Xvideo on the "second" head however. Any workaround for this ? :)
