Hi Mikkel!

Yes, I've done the software update. This is a really odd problem.

I can boot the machine and see the display fine on the laptop display. 
When I connect the external, I can see the boot sequence all the way to 
where the graphical login should display, then I get a "No Sync" on the 
display and blank.

OK, I found it. Jeesh. The default res is 1400x1050 on the TP LCD. 
However, I found a note to myself that says

"I found the default display resolution of 1400x1050 doesn't work well 
with my VX900 external monitor. Changing to 12x10 works much better."

I edited the xorg.conf to 12x10 and now the external display is just peachy.

I guess I need to carve this in my forehead, and then hang mirrors all 
over the place.
