| Hi, |

Hi, Michael! |
20 |
|
21 |
I wouls suggest you to remove all dual head configuration from your |
22 |
xorg.conf file, letting only the lcd configuration as usual and use |
23 |
xrandr to control the resolution of your VGA output and lcd. |
24 |
|
25 |
I'm saying that because this is exactly the setup I use here and it |
26 |
works perfectly! I also have an 855GM based laptop and after being |
27 |
introduced to xrandr, I think I would never touch my xorg.conf again for |
28 |
dual head configuration. |
29 |
|
30 |
|
31 |
When you clean up your xorg.conf file, when you start x, your VGA output |
32 |
will be automatically mirrored. The resolution will be different but X |
33 |
will try to get a resolution on both monitors to accomodate both panels |
34 |
(LCD and VGA). |
35 |
|
36 |
After booting, you will be able to change your resolution with the |
37 |
following simple command: |
38 |
|
39 |
|
40 |
xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600 |
41 |
|
42 |
|
43 |
You may execute xrandr to see what are the available resolutions and |
44 |
also the syntax for using dua head. |
45 |
|
46 |
For example, this is what I use to setup my dual head: |
47 |
|
48 |
~ xrandr --output VGA --mode 640x480 --left-of LVDS --outputLVDS --mode |
49 |
1400x1050 --rate 60 |
50 |
|
51 |
|
52 |
|
53 |
Also note that you may need to configure in your xorg.conf (I don't know |
54 |
how to change it dynamically) your virtual screen size. You have to put |
55 |
the following in your xorg.conf: |
56 |
|
57 |
~ SubSection "Display" |
58 |
~ Depth 16 |
59 |
~ Modes "1360x768" "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" |
60 |
"640x480" |
61 |
~ #Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" |
62 |
~ #Virtual 1360 768 |
63 |
~ Virtual 2048 2048 |
64 |
~ EndSubSection |
65 |
|
66 |
|
67 |
I hope it helps. |
