Let's make sure that we're using 'dual-scan' to mean the same thing. My 2400/180c has a 'dual-scan' video mode, which means that it displays the same video on the LCD and on an external monitor. Is that what you mean by 'dual-scan'? I'm only asking because you seem to be laying a lot of stress on that feature, but AFAIK all 2400's (180 and 240) had dual-scan video. If that's not what you mean by 'dual-scan,' then please elaborate. I haven't ever used it in Linux with dual-scan enabled, but I've run Linux with both displays (LCD and external VGA) at different times. Generally Linux will start up using whatever mode MacOS left the display in. In theory you could write a command-line tool to switch between external, internal, and mirrored/dual-scan modes (like Ben's m3mirror tool for the new ATI M3 chips), but AFAIK no one's written such a tool for the 2400's CT display. -- Michael Blakeley [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.blakeley.com/> Performance Analysis for Internet Technologies
