9 Thank you so much for your help. However, I'm slow at this. Sorry. :-
10 ( Here's my updated xorg.conf file:
11
12 Section "Device"
13 Identifier "Intel 945G "
14 Driver "intel"
15
16 Option "monitor-LVDS" "Builtin"
17 Option "monitor-TMDS-1" "External Monitor"
18
19 EndSection
20
21 Section "Monitor"
22 Identifier "Builtin"
23 Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800"
24 EndSection
25
26 Section "Monitor"
27 Identifier "External Monitor"
28 VendorName "DEL"
29 ModelName "DELL 2407WFP"
30
31 Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
32 Option "ReducedBlanking"
33 EndSection
34
35 Section "Screen"
36
37 Identifier "Default Screen"
38 Device "Intel 945G"
39 Monitor "Builtin"
40
41 DefaultDepth 24
42
43 SubSection "Display"
44 Depth 24
45 Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "640x480"
46 Virtual 2048 2048
47 EndSubSection
48
49 EndSection
50
51 Section "Screen"
52
53 Identifier "External Screen"
54 Device "Intel 945G"
55 Monitor "External Monitor"
56
57 DefaultDepth 24
58
59 SubSection "Display"
60 Depth 24
61 Modes "1920x1200" "1600x1200" "1680x1050"
62 "1024x768" "640x480"
63 Virtual 2048 2048
64 EndSubSection
65
66 EndSection
67
68 Section "ServerLayout"
69 Identifier "Dual Layout"
70 Screen 0 "Default Screen"
71 Screen 1 "External Screen" Above "Built-in Screen"
72
73 Option "Clone" "On"
74 #Option "Xinerama" "On"
75
76 InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
77 InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
78 EndSection
79
80 And this is the output:
81
82 (WW) intel: More than one matching Device section found: Intel 945G
83 (WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1)
84 found
85
86 I get the same default screen resolutions, although xrandr now
87 reports that screen 0 has a maximum size of 2048x2048. I think I'm on
88 the right track... and thanks again for replying to my question.
