Xorg setup with external monitor


IBM T42p laptop with a broken display so I have used a crt monitor attached to video out in windows however slack needs a bit of tweaking for it to work. What do I need to get it to work. Slack 10 stock.

I have an ibm thinkpad running external and it's own monitor with no tweaking. I am using xfree86 and slack 9.1 When you boot, does the external light up or anything?

If I boot up to jsut the command line everything is good. When I go to startup X it throws back an error saying that no screen was found.
