Dual monitor on T61

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've had a devil of a time trying to get dual monitor support to work  for my T61.  I'm running Fedora 8, x86_64.  It has the Intel GM965/GL960  graphics controller.



I have two monitors connected.  Both are Dell 2007FP's, that can run  1600x1200.  Of course, one is connected via DVI, and other via VGA.  I  know the controller is capable of driving both monitors at the same time,  because Windows can do it.



System-config-display cannot get it right.  I have yet to fathom the  mysteries of X configuration, and nothing I've tried thus far has worked.   The best I've been able to do is to actually use the Ubuntu config  file, which at least displays on the digital monitor.  Tweaking the  config (changing PCI address, changing driver to vesa) switches the output  from DVI to VGA, but I cannot get both displayed at the same time.  I'd  love to have an extended desktop.



lspci -v and my current xorg.conf are below.  Any help is greatly  appreciated!



Thanks!
