What is the trick to getting a dual-head config on a laptop (with sax2) when the monitor screen resolution is one size on the laptop's built-in display, and the external monitor is a different size?
No trick, you should be able to set this up with Sax. Your GPU matters a lot however.
I'm trying to use Xinerama to get the KDE desktop to go across two screens. In this case, the laptop has an Intel GPU chip, though I've had this same problem with other brands.
Which Intel GPU. With my i945, for example, it is pretty pointless as the maximum resolution the GPU can handle (displays combined) is too low to be very useful.
This is a huge problem on today's modern "HD aspect" (16:9 or anything other than oldfashioned 4:3) laptops.
I don't understand why that is relevant?
Or am I going about this the wrong way? Is there some X utility that I'm supposed to use while X is running to extend onto the extneral display?
