Hay,
Im having problem running my laptop with the laptop display and a
external monitor. Ive tryed to configure xorg (see attached) but all i can
get is both monitors to display the same thing in the same resolution.
Where as i need to have both monitors showing the same display but with
diffrent resolutions. I dont know what im doing wrong to get this to work.
In the device section of the config file is TwinView options i
commented
out, while they work, i would rather have both displays show the same
information and with the TwinView i couldnt make the laptop the main
display. So all KDE's windows and menus were being displayed on the
external monitor.
I am unsure what information you need, so i have just included the xorg
file, if you need to see any other config files please just ask and ill
send the to you. If anyone can please help me it would be much appreciated.
