Just looking for a recommendation on a good/cheap (but not necessarily fast) microatx motherboard. Or possibly, one of those via motherboards, but needs to fit in an atx case. I _think_ the mini-itx form factor of the VIA EPIA motherboards will fit in ATX cases, but I've never tried it. That

Interesting. I hadn't tried using the external VGA output on my laptop. I'm seeing pretty much what you describe, only I find that if I set the Boot Display Device in the BIOS to VGA+LCD, then I get external video output on the monitor. There's output in X, too. Even the Fn-F7 toggling seems

Of course, I do NAT on the pf box, that routes traffic from LAN to the Internet. The mentioned rdr rule works, so traffic on 21 is redirected to localhost:8021 ... However, thought the initial control connection is redirected, the subsequent ones are not. tcpdump output: pass in on em0: 172.16
