Please do both of following things in your config file: 1. Uncomment your CloneHSync, CloneVRefresh lines. The DDC on your HP monitor worked fine, but it failed on your SUN monitor somehow. 2. Use Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" instead of Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" You shouldn't need this if you have the patch I sent to you. Without that patch you have to make sure you have 1024x768 (your panel's native mode) in your Modes line. In v4.2.1, both heads are driven by the same CRTC. That way, while you can get the external CRT working, it can cause problems on the LCD (lots of people have complained about it). To get only the external CRT working with LCD disabled, current driver may appear a little awkward, but it's safer. There is a better approach to this which has been implemented, but because we are running out of time testing it for v4.3, it won't appear until after v4.3.
