Hi List:
I am trying to get my R50 to use the external screen which uses
1280x1024 resolution rather than my native screen with 1024x768
resolution.
In my XF86config-4 file I created two screen, monitor sections, as
follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon
Mobility 7500]"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO"
Option "DPMS" "on"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Thinkpad"
HorizSync 28-50
VertRefresh 43-75
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Hyundai"
HorizSync 28-50
VertRefresh 43-75
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility
7500]"
Monitor "Hyundai"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"

7500]"

EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"

Screen "Screen0"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
EndSection
I know the trick is MonitorLayout, which I also tried MonitorLayout
"CRT,None";"CRT,CRT" and "AUTO", I can get the native screen to shut off
but the external screen is running at the resolution of the native
screen, how can I get the external screen to run at 1280x1024 while
shutting the internal screen?
