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.

Usually they have graphical tools to detect the monitors and switch between them, use them both with the same output or use them as an extra-large single display. It's pretty rare these days to need to fiddle with config files for this.
Hi.I am using Fluxbox 1.3.5-2 (very basic setup, with just the main bar and gkrellm, no "desktop" icons or other plugins).
When I used this laptop for presentations (connected to data projectors), I sometimes needed to use the framebuffer and tools like fbgs, fbi, gpm, etc.
May that be a hardware limitation? Is not X not compatible with old CRT monitors anymore?
