Hi Folks, |

I have a laptop Dell D610 at work and i installed gentoo |
| 4 |
on that. I have a docking station and a DEll 1905FP external |
| 5 |
monitor connected to the docking station through a DVI port. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I could install gentoo from the live-cd (minimal-iso) and the |
| 8 |
display was showing up on the external monitor. However, after |
| 9 |
i compiled the kernel and booted from it, the external monitor |
| 10 |
blanks after the radeonfb loads and the boot messages switch |
| 11 |
to a better resolution with tux logo. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I compiled this support into the kernel while configuring it. |
| 14 |
Now i can work using the laptop LCD, but not using the external |
| 15 |
monitor. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The laptop has an ATI mobility video card (M22) and the laptop |
| 18 |
LCD can do 1024x768 and the external monitor can do 1280x1024@75Hz. |

Is there something that i forgot to configure in the kernel? |
