Hi Rhonda!
Where you at the debconf8? You've a powerbook if you're the Rhonda of
the debconf :). I don't know if you remember we had a few beers
togethere with Jacob, Antoine and Anne, I'm Sébastien from Montréal.
I've a powerbook (aluminium) and I experimented a similar problem with
an external DVI monitor. VGA monitor works fine. I resolved it using
radeontool. There is a referrence

maybe it leads you to a solution... I can't find the documentation that
I used to solve the issue.
have a nice day,
Sébastien
