Re: Laptop VGA Dual Output Resolution Configuration and Switching

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

 



I have a similar problem.  My laptop resolution is 1920x1440 and I have a
monitor with 1680x1050 (Dell FPW2005).  My xorg.conf has the following
resolutions listed:

Modes 1920x1440 1680x1050

And in my Monitor section, I have the correct modeline for the FPW2005.

When I boot my laptop not connected to the monitor, X starts up in 1920x1440
correctly, but if I boot with the monitor plugged in, I get no signal to my
monitor.

ctrl-shift-+ and ctrl-shift-- don't do anything.

I had it setup in FC4 where if my monitor was plugged in, X would still
start, but the resolution would be 1080x1050, but the desktop size was
1920x1440 and I just had the KDE resolution manager resize it upon login.

That was an acceptable solution, I guess, but now whenever I switch between
my laptop screen and monitor, I have edit my xorg.conf by hand.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
