I've only use an external monitor once and I don't remember it being a
problem. It happily displayed to both the laptop TFT and the external
projector. I did have the s3switch[1] software installed and set for dual
display, so it could be that.
As an aside, I was pleased to find that the internal modem (Conexant HSF)
wasn't a winmodem after all, and it works really well with the drivers from

SR33 uses a Savage S3 chipset - mine is an IX. Just a shame Open GL isn't
supported on these chipsets :(
