The chipset is capable of it, as is the external monitor. The external |
| 22 |
monitor is an LCD which runs at 1280x1024 - its the internal laptop LCD |
| 23 |
which appears to be the problem. When I did have both screens running |
| 24 |
in their proper modes, it was in two completely different desktops which |
| 25 |
doesnt work when you are trying to give a presentation! What I want is |
| 26 |
the same desktop on both screens - looks like this is not possible. |

I will investigate the viewport option, but I dont think that will help. |
