FWIW, I have a laptop and an external LCD monitor. The internal LCD is
presumably digital, the external is connected via the 15-pin video connector
to an analog input on the monitor. I've been running dual head on the ati
card thru several versions of XFree/xorg, so it's probably all in the
xorg.conf file. Is there an nvidia list anywhere?
