I, too, would love to know. I have an hp ze4630us laptop that is less
than useful due to this very problem. The laptop is dual boot witn
WinXP and CentOS4. When I connect the external port to a projector and
boot CentOS4, the image displays fine, but as soon as X starts the
projector loses sync. With WinXP running, the projector works just
fine.
It's a real bummer to have to make a Linux presetation with WinXP
driving the show!

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ... If you write
the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
smart enough to debug it.
