case 1: Monitor connected at boot up The external monitor is fine at depth 8, resolution 1024x768-8@60Hz. Changing the depth (text mode) with fbset makes the font look like the wrong depth. It feels like font depth has changed but not the display depth. The internal-LCD display stays just fine.
Starting X will screw up the secondary display in this scenario too.
Has this been solved? If not, how can I help?
