external VGA output of an iBook G3 800 MHz 12 inch running Debian GNU/Linux 4.0

[Pierre Bauduin]

Thank you :)

I tried commenting out line 80 Option        "UseFBDev"        "true"
I also tried changing line 80 to Option        "UseFBDev"        "false"

... I still get a grey screen on the external VGA screen.

Thanks anyway for your help,
Pierre
