Linux on the Sony VAIO C1XD

 

XF86 configuration

New: updated for XFree 4.0.3.

The internal display is running at 1024x768 virtual. Fn - F7 gives you 1024x480 on both internal and external displays (usefull if you have a video projector which will sync to this resolution like the Proxima). Fn - F7 again and you have 1024x768 on the external display.
