The first time that I plugged my laptop into my HD TV, KDE (I guess it was KDE) provided a pop-up to configure the second monitor. It correctly identified it at 1920 x 1080. For some reason, my primary monitor also adapted to the TV setting and great portions of my desktop were off the margins. I could not get the sound to work. Last night I tried again. The good news is that I got HDMI digital sound to work. However, I could only configure the TV to 1024 x 768. Upon doing so my laptop screen adapted and my desktop was all scrunched together. This brings up two questions: 1. Why do the setting of a second monitor affect the settings of my primary monitor and; 2. What is preventing me from setting my second monitor to its native resolution of 1920x1080 (something that I successfully did in the past)? Any help would be appreciated. I notice that myself: a second monitor overrides the settings of the primary. When I go out to make a presentation, my laptop adapts itself to the resolution and aspect ratio of the projector that I plug in to the auxiliary monitor jack. This helps, so that I know that I'm going to fill whatever "screen" they give me to fill. Now then: it sounds as though your second-monitor routine is assuming, incorrectly, that your second monitor is a standard-definition television set. You want to configure it as a high-definition television set. Correct? My experience is not all that great, but I have to tell you: I never was able to alter the second-monitor setting. Terry A.
