I get the main display on the external monitor, which is what I
prefer.


My idea in having the laptop as the main display was for presentations. That way i could setup everything on the laptop (so people dont see all the other bits i got running) and just put OpenOffice (or such like) on the projector. As such thought it doesnt reall bother me as long as i can make something work.

I'm sending you a copy of my config, because it does just that. It will let you have two resolutions on each display, and will also run a desktop on each display.

The way it work you launch startx with -- -layout twinview for when you have an external monitor connected, and you launch startx -- -layout single when you don't have an external monitor. When you startx one monitor will have one wm, and the second monitor will have another desktop, and you can move a mouse between them. You can bump down the resolution if you want to use it on a projector (xrandr -s 1024x768). And that's it.

Good luck,

Vadim
