Hi, I have a laptop which I can run either using the internal 800x600 screen, or an external monitor which will run at 1024x768. I'd like to be able to set up the system so that I can start X to run on whichever is connected (eg, I could have aliases startx-internal and startx-monitor).
I can set up an XF86Config file which includes monitor definitions for both monitors. The vide card is the same in both cases. What I don't know, and can't find in the online docs, is how to run startx to tell it which monitor is currently plugged in... I guess I may need to add more stuff to my XF86Config - I just don't know what! Any hints, pointers to relevant documentation or preferably complete solutions (:-)) gratefully accepted. Paul.
