Hi, I'm trying to configure X (v4.3.0, the version included with Mandrake at present) to better use a CRT monitor attached to my Acer TravelMate 530 laptop.
The problem is that no matter what changes I make, the laptop LCD and external CRT both run at 1024x768, 60Hz. The CRT is capable of better res and refresh rates (Mitsubishi DV1998FD). Ideally, I want to be able to: 1. Use the CRT at 1280x1024, 85 Hz, with LCD off (I don't care what it does). 2. Use both displays simultaneously with Xinerama, with different refresh rates (CRT > 75Hz, LCD 60Hz). 3. (wishlist!) Use the S-Video TV-out. How do I force X to only use the CRT (I assume the CRT is being held back due to the refresh rate & res limitations of the LCD)? How do I get Xinerama working correctly? I've tried to achieve these using XFDrake, xf86cfg (better by far than XFDrake!!), and editing XF86Config-4 manually. Apologies for not attaching the log or config file, I will attach them to future emails if needed. Thanks in advance, Rua HM. Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
