VGA out/External Monitor on ibook 2

Starting X will screw up the secondary display in this scenario too.

Nope. I wrote some tools to dump the Rage128's config registers as well
the PLL but haven't had a chance to actually get dumps.
Anyways, its located at http://www.stampflee.com/r128dump

It would useful for dumps (send them to me, not the list...) booting
with both the scenarios you provided and when booting with
"video=ofonly"
