Gentoo, a T42, and a Dell 2005FPW all walk into a bar
I just spent the past three hours or so trying to get my 2005FPW monitor working on Gentoo with my T42 docked. It was not an easy process and I have to go to bed, but there were a couple things that pointed me in the right direction.
- Ubuntu on a T42, specifically the Video portion, and even more specifically the MonitorLayout option actually got the monitor functional.
- The ModeLine from this page gave me a proper resolution.
This FreeBSD post on dual monitors also helped quite a bit, but it was those two links above that made it perfect.
Now I have to crash. Pulling the night shift tomorrow, that’s why I’m up nice and late.
