Dell C-Dock-II video issue solved


It took me over four months to figure out how to solve this problem, so I thought I'd share it:

My Dell C600 with an ATI Rage Mobility M3 worked fine using the r128 driver by itself, but when I put it in the docking station, the video wouldn't work.

In order to solve this, you need to setup your device settings like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x"
Driver "r128"
Option "AGPMode" "2"
Option "Display" "BIOS"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

The option that does the trick is the Display BIOS setting that tells the driver when you have the CRT or LCD active.
