However, when I start X with a monitor attached to the VGA port, Xorg gets VGA1's best" configuration, but sets the bult-in "LVDS1" LCD screen to 1024x768, with black borders. I can correct this with a quick <code>xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto</code> All in all, not bad. :) Yeah, so I bit the bullet about six months ago, and have a stub configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

To still use "less" (the default, with no options), just type "pager less". Thanks to my coworker Yaniv for figuring that one out! :) On the mysql client command line, you can turn off the pager by typing “nopager”.
