20 Hi,
21
22 I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly... Do you have 2
23 screens, and want to switch the output of your gfx-card from one screen
24 to the other? You could use both at the same time :)
25 Anyway - "xrandr" is your friend.
26 To see your adapters and modes run "xrandr" without options, then use
27 something like "xrandr --output VGA --off --output LCD --auto" (maybe
28 use "--mode 1920x1200" instead of "--auto". You have to experiment with
29 this...

31 Bye,
