Two screens

Hi All Is it possible to use two screens with X ? I mean one will be the Laptop screen and the other will be CRT connected to the laptop. Currently if I do this its only duplicate the laptop output to the CRT and I want it to be as I use it with win XP, different desktop on each CRT. Cheers

Re: Two screens

you want to use Xinerama, which will enable you to extend your desktop to multiple screens : http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/ Amir Tal, Whatsup - Hebrew linux portal. Ben-Nes Michael wrote: Hi All Is it possible to use two screens with X ? I mean one will be the Laptop screen
