[Openchrome-users] Help on xorg.conf options

[Robert Moskowitz]

As I fight with my OQO's CX700M2 chip, I think there is a 'compromise' 
position I can work with.

I really only need the internal or external display working.  It would 
be nice to be able to switch easily between them, but if I have to 
restart X each time (logout and in, for example), I can live with that.  
To that end I have noticed:

        Option      "ActiveDevice" "LCD"
or
        Option      "ActiveDevice" "LCD,CRT"


Results in the external display working and the internal one to be 
out-of-sync.


        Option      "ActiveDevice" "LCD"
        Option      "ForcePanel"


Results in the external off and the internal on.


        Option      "ActiveDevice" "LCD,CRT"
        Option      "ForcePanel"


Results in both on, but both having sync lines accross the screen and 
one running down the screen.  The mouse pointer is a blurred box unless 
I add:

       Option      "SWCursor" "true"

So minimally I need an option that turns off the internal display and 
has the external on.  What would that be?  Here is what I am running 
with right now (oh, I should mention that since I started fiddling with 
my xorg.conf, I lost 1024x768 and only get 800x600.  How do I get 
1024x768 back?):
