Hey all,
Just traded up my Eee 901 for a 1000he. The upgrade was worth it for the keyboard alone. Hello (properly-located) right shift key -- I've missed you.
The only problem I've had so far is that it doesn't seem to detect an external display when one is connected. xrandr sees nothing.
Has anyone else run into this problem yet? I've tried both xf86-video-intel and xf86-video-intel-legacy, but no change. I'm running the stock Arch kernel.
Cheers,
- J

I have an Asus 1000he hooked up to an external monitor and xrandr properly detects the VGA monitor.
I'm using hal and foregoing the xorg.conf altogether.
What are the settings in your xorg.conf?

I pretty much took the xorg.conf from the 1000he wiki page.

I tried starting X with your xorg.conf and xrandr detected my VGA
monitor just fine. Here are the versions of some of the relevant
packages that I have installed currently.
intel-dri 7.4.2-1
xf86-video-intel 2.7.1-1 (xorg-video-drivers)
xorg-server 1.6.1.901-1 (xorg)
xf86-video-intel 2.7.1-1 (xorg-video-drivers)
libxrandr 1.3.0-1
lxrandr 0.1-1 (lxde)
randrproto 1.3.0-1

Finally figured it out. I have two identical LCD monitors but one seems to be a little braindead. Though it works with my desktop, the eee wouldn't recognize it.
I just tried with the other monitor and it was detected just fine.
Thanks for the help, madalu. Cheers!
