Hmmm, I haven't tried my eeepc yet with an external screen, sounds like there's an issue there. I'll get my laptop back in the next few days (was at Asus for a warranty claim), and then I'll do some testing. Have you tried rebooting, or at the very least restarting X with your laptop plugged into the external monitor? It very well might have something to do with the patch I used, the 915resolution. TigerPup definitely works with external screens, so my guess is this is what's wrong. Once again, I'm not convinced the 915resolution patch is the best option, but haven't figured out how to get TigerPup to support other resolutions. eeetiger is a port of the TigerPup project to the eeepc, costumized specifically for that hardware. Anyway...
Can you try getting rid of the patch line in
Code: Select all
/usr/X11R7/bin/xwin
Code: Select all
#Puppy Xorg Video Wizard...
Code: Select all
915resolution 43 800 480 16 # 43 is for 16-bit, 38 is for 8-bit
Save the file, and log out of xfce. When you're at the command line, type
Code: Select all
xorgwizard
and select the screen res of your output device. Then plug in your monitor, and type
Code: Select all
xwin
