The answer to the problem is in this thred; http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=16835 Just add these lines to the "Device" section of the xorg.conf file. Option "CRT2Position" "clone" Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT" seems to affect alot of acer notebooks. On Mon, 2005-12-19 at 23:05 -0500, Gomez, Daniel wrote:
