Yes, it worked !
You have just earned 20 EUR :)

Now my external VGA display finally works properly in both Mac OS X and
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
Here's the detailed information:
http://pierre.baudu.in/ibook/#external_vga_output

Perhaps a dumb question but...
I don't need the external vga ouput all the time. In fact I only need it
when I make presentations with a beamer, that is once every three months.
Should I keep using the xorg.conf with the external VGA output defined even
if I don't need it ?
Will it "suck" more energy from the battery if I leave the VGA ouput enabled
in xorg.conf ?

To Zhengpeng Hou: Can I send you the 20 EUR to your address:
zhengpeng-hou at ubuntu.com ?
Or do you prefer if I send it to another address ?

Other folks: Thanks a lot :)
It's a pleasure when you can get things to work :)

Cheers,
