Laptop + VGA + X
Hi.
The monitor of my laptop is broken, thus the screen frequently becomes
white. Then, it is needed to turning off the energy and restart the
laptop (not always with success).
Therefore, I plugged a VGA monitor. However, the VGA monitor does not
work when X is active. (It works very fine with framebuffer, though.)
How to enable Xorg to use a VGA monitor plugged to a laptop?
Thanks.
