Hi!
I'm running SuSE 8.1 on a Dell D600 which has a 1400x1050 TFT monitor, now I'd like to hook up a external monitor. And the one I have (DELL 2000FP) can handle 1600x1200 but when I connect it I get a 1280x1024 view of the 1400x1050 that is on the laptop monitor. And I can't find any way to change it.
What am I supposed to do ?
That depends, are you trying to use it as a second monitor ... or are you just replacing the TFT with the 1600x1200 one?
Actually I could do with either :-)
If you just trying to replace it, you should run sax2 again, to set the proper timings for the monitor.
I'm not really trying to replace it, I'd love to have both working at the same resolution though.
If you want a second one, you should still try sax2 ... not sure if it will let you use a second monitor ... if not, you need to hand edit the X configuration file.
Sax2 nerver realizes there is a second monitor. Any X configuration example I could try? -- Roland
