Hello all... (Let me apologize in advance for the length of this.) Got a couple of issues on an install 10.0 on a laptop. Its a Compaq Evo 610c, has an ATI radeon for graphics. I had the system running 9.3 and of course I had to get the latest and greatest on there. After upgrading my home desktop and not having much issues (a slight one with my soundcard I was able to resolve) I figured I would dig into upgrading my work laptop. First issue, I was really expecting, I work at a large company and I honestly think they have a funky way they are configuring Exchange. I have been able to get Evolution and the Ximian connector to work previously, under 9.3, but I am having a heck of a time with it this time. I think its related to accessing public folders, just a guess from the company's naming convention and where I am getting errors. I did not see anyway to disable that in the preferences, so I was curious if there was any "hidden" setting that let you disable the use of Public Folders. I _think_ if I turned that off I might get it to function properly again... But of course I could be wrong... My second issue, which I did not expect at all, was my dual head setup. After researching around on the Net with 9.3 and taking hints and stealing bits of example configs I was able to setup my dual head exactly the way I wanted. When I was docked at work my laptop screen was to the left and my 21" NEC was to the right, undocked I was fine with just the little laptop screen. The laptop was at 1024x768 and the NEC was 1280x1024. I was hoping to re-use the xorg.conf file with 10.0. Unfortunately it just does not want to work. It starts up X alright but the NEC has nothing on it and goes to power save mode. So I figured I would start from scratch. 10.0 apparently does things a lot differently, setting up dual head, was actually pretty easy, it just worked using the GUI, no manual edit of the xorg.conf needed. Except, and here I am getting picky, both the laptop screen and the NEC are stuck at 1024x768. I REALLY hate having a 21" screen at that resolution so I would like to get back to having that at 1280x1024. After lots of trials I cannot get it to go. I have tweaked the xorg.conf as much as I can find and no luck. I cannot seem to find any documentation on the options its using to do dual head so it makes it even harder. Any suggestions (heck I would even deal with having to PAN on the laptop screen to get 1280x1024 on the NEC)? Below are two xorg.conf files, the first is the current one I am using, where I get both monitors running, but they are stuck at 1024x768. The second is the xorg.conf from 9.3 that though X starts up with, the NEC is apparently non-functional though it worked fine in 9.3.
