Hi List,

I have a question about laptops. Anyone know of a good methodology, whether using different server layouts or whatever, to make this situation work.

I have a laptop (WUXGA). When I am undocked I want 1920x1200 resolution. When I go to work I dock my workstation with a 21" Monitor, so I would like it to go to 1600x1200 resolution. I have been very sucsessful at getting this to work and wondered if anyone has.

I have configure both monitors and modes under XF86Config, but can't seem to get it to work.

You can create multiple layouts in your config file then pass a parm to startx to tell it which to use. startx -- -layout docked startx -- -layout undocked -- Until later, Geoffrey Registered Linux User #108567 Building secure systems inspite of Microsoft
