[ltp] R40 and a second monitor... Happy ending?!

[Johannes Rieken]

Hi folks,

I am proud owner of a R40 2722 CDG and a Belinea 101741. Now I try to a mak=
e a=20
match between my two sweethearts. Unfortunately this evil SuSE Linux 9.2 an=
d=20
nasty X 6.8.1 bar me from doing so. This is the story:

The point from where I started:
When I connect the external TFT to the laptop before X starts the laptop=20
screen stays black. On the other hand both display work when I connect the=
=20
TFT after starting X. But this is not satisfactory because I don't need to=
=20
see everythink twice and the because the TFT doesn't display everythink; It=
=20
has a smaller resolution (1280x1024 opposed to 1400x1050). =20

What I tried:
I changed my xorg.conf and added a new Monitor/Screen/Modes/Device Sections=
,=20
switched on Xinerama, and started again. But their is no difference...=20

What I need:
Someone who can help me. I assume this topic in the same or a simular fashi=
on=20
was discussed more than once and I should have found the solution somewhere=
=20
out on the web, but I haven't. So, I would be thankful if someone could giv=
e=20
me a better xorg.conf, a web link, or some hints.=20
