Hi
I have recently upgraded from a windoze/Redhat world to a
windoze/Ubuntu. So far things have been OK.
There is one issue that I have, and that is my VGA output on my Dell
Inspiron 5100 won't work. I had to add stuff into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file to get different resolutions working.

It would be useful to get this working as I sometimes do presentations
and would prefer not booting back into windoze.
Is there also a way of having a different resolution on the output than
what is on my main screen?
Thanks in advance
