| Hi, |

Hi, Michael! |
13 |
|
14 |
I wouls suggest you to remove all dual head configuration from your |
15 |
xorg.conf file, letting only the lcd configuration as usual and use |
16 |
xrandr to control the resolution of your VGA output and lcd. |
17 |
|
18 |
I'm saying that because this is exactly the setup I use here and it |
19 |
works perfectly! I also have an 855GM based laptop and after being |
20 |
introduced to xrandr, I think I would never touch my xorg.conf again for |
21 |
dual head configuration. |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
When you clean up your xorg.conf file, when you start x, your VGA output |
25 |
will be automatically mirrored. The resolution will be different but X |
26 |
will try to get a resolution on both monitors to accomodate both panels |
27 |
(LCD and VGA). |
28 |
|
29 |
After booting, you will be able to change your resolution with the |
30 |
following simple command: |
31 |
|
32 |
|
33 |
xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600 |
34 |
|
35 |
|
36 |
You may execute xrandr to see what are the available resolutions and |
37 |
also the syntax for using dua head. |
38 |
|
39 |
For example, this is what I use to setup my dual head: |
40 |
|
41 |
~ xrandr --output VGA --mode 640x480 --left-of LVDS --outputLVDS --mode |
42 |
1400x1050 --rate 60 |
43 |
|
44 |
|
45 |
|
46 |
Also note that you may need to configure in your xorg.conf (I don't know |
47 |
how to change it dynamically) your virtual screen size. You have to put |
48 |
the following in your xorg.conf: |
49 |
|
50 |
~ SubSection "Display" |
51 |
~ Depth 16 |
52 |
~ Modes "1360x768" "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" |
53 |
~ #Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" |
54 |
~ #Virtual 1360 768 |
55 |
~ Virtual 2048 2048 |
56 |
~ EndSubSection |
57 |
|
58 |
|
59 |
I hope it helps. |
