you can achieve this with xrandr. I have a similar setup and i run the following comand to set things up. xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto You get an overview over your devices and their names by typing xrandr as user. I also do not have a xorg.conf but let xorg do the config by itself. So when i am on laptop only, xorg finds the right settings for me. If i am at home using the second screen, i wrote that command and some other stuff in a small script and linked that in a bin directory. So i type "dualscreen" and the script sets things up for me. #!/bin/bash xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto display -window root /home/smash/wallpaper/Feuersbrunst_dual.jpg So the result looks like this: http://www.smash-net.org/bilder/loki_20091010.png Regards, Norman
