I installed Redhat 8.0 on my Compaq N610c notebook.  During the install I had an external Compaq S910 monitor installed.  I was happy to see that X configured properly and display output on both the external monitor and the notebook screen were excellant.  

At the end of the day, I removed the external monitor from my notebook and left my notebook running and drove home.  When I got home, I opened my notebook and the screen was black.  I could see harddrive activity so the machine was not in sleep mode.  I rebooted and the screen output was very fuzzy.

I then attempted to find horz/vert sync rates so I could manually configure the xf86config file.  I searched for hours on Google, Compaq.com and even opened up a Compaq tech support case.  To my amazement, I cannot find the info anywhere and even Compaq couldn't provide it to me.  

I tried several different versions of the Generic Laptop" options available and none worked.

Any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated! : )
