I recently installed Red Hat 7.3 on my Vaio notepad. Everything works
except for the display, which has the following strange behaviour. If I do
startx then I do not get a functioning display and I have tried lots of
different settings in Xconfig. HOWEVER, if I do startx with my laptop
plugged into an external monitor AND THEN switch back to the laptop 's
display then I get a full, high-resolution picture and everything is fine
from then on! (But I don 't really want to walk round with my 19 " CRT
monitor).
Does anyone know why I get this strange behaviour and how to fix it? I
guess there must be a quick fix since the display works perfectly after
I do the switch.
The details of the display and the video card are:
1400 x 1050 15 " display
ATI Rage Mobility M1 8MB graphic card
I am using XFree86 4.0.3-5 driver
Thanks for any replies,
Joshua
