Cancel the second part. 'lspci' is *not* supposed to give you two video
devices. I just tried this on my laptop. On my laptop I have an external
monitor working (as a mirror). I ran lspci and it only gave me one VGA
device.
So this means that the 'lspci' part is already good. The next step is to
get the CRT working. I don't know how to do that, but Matt's suggestion
(i810rotate) seems as good as any.
Sorry for the confusion. I'm learning this as I go.
Cheers,
Daniel.
