I posted this reply yesterday to debian-user by mistake.  Sorry.
Now i am posting to the debian-laptop list.

Here is my XF86Config-4 file pasted below.
I use a Thinkpad A31 with 15" screen and external 15" Flat panel monitor.
My setup has 2 complete desktops...one for each screen.
The mouse freely travels between each. This is a great setup.
But I can't drag applications across to each other because they are
independant desktops.
The laptop display runs at 1400x1050 and the external runs at 1024x768.
I am not an expert at all and this was put together by researching
the web for a couple of hours so there may be stuff in here that's not right.

Dual display? What's your X-config? Just the "blah1 rightof blah2" part in
the serverlayout section?

Dual display? What's your X-config? Just the "blah1 rightof blah2" part in
the serverlayout section?

How long has that been working for? Damn.

Great thing!  This would be the solution I've always wanted for my
laptop and Linux!

Can you send me (us) some more hints, how this works?
- Configuration of the two screens
- Are both displays active all the time or is it possible to switch
  them on and off independently?

Thanks!

Does anyone have r128 mobility working (mine is in a Dell I4K).

I never did get it to work, but last tried about a year ago. No fair

Maybe.  It depends on whether your video chip supports it (some do,
some can only do mirroring).  If your chip does support it, it also
depends on whether or not XFree86 supports your chip well enough to do
it.  (Doesn't work on mine -- Trident.)

Sure you can, just like a dualhead.  I use this configuration at work.  One 
server on my laptop LCD and another one on an external CRT.  Both have the 
same window manager and one mouse, one keyboard, but with different 
resolution/refreshrate.

All you need to do is declare two screens and make your server something like 
that :
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier  "DualJob"
Screen  "Screen0" 0 0
Screen  "Screen2" RightOf "Screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Dual Display on a Laptop?

2004-03-25 Thread arief# 
Dear all,


I don't know if this idea is doable.
Or it might even sounds crazy. 

Is it possible to use different X-Window client on a laptop VGA-port?
You know the one that used for digital projector presentation input.  

I mean, can I make it viewing different view than the ones coming up on
my LCD? 

No?
I guess so.
