Subject: External display unable to sync .

 	Hello Antonio ,  On my Dell Latitude C610 laptop the external display 
is unable to get sync after the rivafb driver has taken control of the frame 
buffer .  Up until the rivafb takes control I have (this is setable from 
keyboard) both the laptop display & the external showing the boot preocess .
 	Iirc, I was in the past able to have both displays showing X & Virtual 
consoles on this very external monitor & the laptop .
 	Both displays are 1600x1200@...Z .
 	Please ask for any further information needed .

 		Tia ,  JimL

ps: CC'd linux-kernel this time to get more eyeballs on the problem ,  Since Mr. 
Antonio has not responded nor anyone on the linux-fbdev list either .

 	.config is attached .
