external monitor issue on sony vaio

hey folks,

got trouble with the graphics card of my friends sony vaio laptop while using an external monitor.

radeontool --debug gives me the following:

# radeontool --debug

Found card 1002:9806 (30000)

Radeon found. Base control address is b755d000; base framebuffer address is a755d000.

reading RADEON_DAC_CNTL (58) is 00000000

reading RADEON_LVDS_GEN_CNTL (2d0) is 00000000

usage: radeontool [options] [command]

         --debug            - show a little debug info

         --skip=1           - use the second radeon card

         dac [on|off]       - power down the external video outputs (on)

         light [on|off]     - power down the backlight (off)

         stretch [on|off|vert|horiz|auto|manual]   - stretching for resolution mismatch

         regs               - show a listing of some random registers

         regmatch <pattern> - show registers matching wildcard pattern

         regset <pattern> <value> - set registers matching wildcard pattern

using lxrandr i cant get the external one to be recognized.

any ideas?

greatly appreceated..
