Thanks Jonathan. Please do send me your XFree86config. Which version
of X.org/XFree86 are you running and which driver are you running (ATI
or open source)?
Right now I am interested in just a singlehead. I should make it work
with DVI first before trying out dualhead or xinerama or anything
else.
Just to make sure that by singlehead, you mean X that will display on
only one monitor - which is either Thinkpad LCD or DVI monitor, right?
How do you switch between the two? Does Fn+F7 work ? I have found that
Fn+F7 works only for VGA output for me.
thanks,
Osho
