Thanks Andy!
All sorts of interesting things happen:
(Relevant to the recent X/Autodetect thread)
I have been experimenting with a second monitor, not a projector.
But it feels very similar to me...)
1) radeon->vesa driver for my radeon card
This drops glxgears from 600->175, and dri support goes.
mplayer knows xv will not work, so picks x11. Which means I
do get a display, without having to think, even if it is
not a nice one.
However, the alt-F8 works as it did on RH-9. It seemed to be
disabled before. So I can choose laptop, projector or both.
2) apm on/off does nothing for me.
3) apci off/on does nothing for me.
4) Start X WITHOUT the external display, and then plugging it in,
fixes the problem.
So it seems that it recognises the second screen and tries to
do something clever in consequence. So I can summarise:
A) Start X with projector connected
Screen position correct, no clipping, but 680x480 only.
xv output only displayed on laptop.
In XFree86.0.log I notice:
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1400x1050"
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1280x1024"
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1280x960"
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1152x864"
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "1024x768"
(**) RADEON(0): *Mode "800x600"
(**) RADEON(0): *Default mode "640x480": 25.2 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "640x480" 25.20 640 656 752 800 480 490 492
525 -hsync -vsync
(**) RADEON(0): Default mode "320x240": 12.6 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.1 Hz (D)
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "320x240" 12.60 320 328 376 400 240 245 246
262 doublescan -hsync -vsync
B) Start X without, then plug-in
xv works nicely
screen display slightly misplaced
1400x1050 seems to work on this monitor.
Does that suggest anything about the source?

Hm, wonder if its as disabled as you think it is... maybe its spamming
interrupts somewhere and causing trouble that way. What kind of bad did it
go?

I would # out the Driver "radeon" line and try it with Driver "vesa"
just to
see if that made any difference.
I would also fiddle with kernel params added in /boot/grub/grub.conf to kill
acpi, eg, acpi=off
Alan Cox had these wise words to share with us earlier today:
o System boots to graphical desktop but the desktop appears
and then the machine crashes
Boot with "apm=off" and see if this helps. A few laptops
have buggy battery query support.
