[ltp] yet an other external monitor question (the same as ever) :)

[Paul RIVIER]

Hi there,

my laptop is a T42 with an Ati 9600 (M10) and a internal resolution of 
1400x1050.
Very soon I'll have to use it for a slideshow.
What I would like to do is just to plug the vga and maybe enter a 
"xrandr" command, then get the same thing on both my tp screen and the 
video projector, which undoubtly won't be a 1400x1050 one :). I will not 
have much time to restart X etc etc.

In spite of this is probably THE most basic usage of the dual head, I 
can not figure how to do that. I've looked into my linux-thinkpad 
archive, as well as on google and on my distro forums (it is ubuntu 5.10).

My X version is :  X Window System Version 6.8.2 (Ubuntu 6.8.2-77 
20051010174523 root@vernadsky.buildd) Release Date: 9 February 2005

I really don't need to extand screens or to do fancy stuffs. I would 
only like to be able to use the mirror mode on time for the slideshow.

Do you have anything to help me, a xorg.conf or a good how-to, any link 
... ?

Thank you in advance.


Paul
