Dear all,
Thank you very much for the tips. After a lot of struggle (and many,
many stupid mistakes) I've managed to get the dual monitor.
The only issue is that it seem impossible to get the screen resolution
right. The screen of the T61 is a 1280X800. The external monitor is
a 19 inches westinghouse L2046NV , that is capable of 1400x 1050.
However I am stuck at 1280*800 and the screen looks awful. Probably I
am making a stupid mistake.
My current xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller"
Driver "intel"
Option "monitor-VGA" "foo"
Option "monitor-LVDS" "bar"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
#Option "monitor-TMDS-1" "dvi"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "foo"
Vendorname "Plug 'n' Play"
Modelname "Plug 'n' Play"
modeline "1400x1050@60" 122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054

modeline "1400x1050@75" 155.85 1400 1496 1648 1896 1050 1051 1054
1096 -hsync +vsync
Gamma 1.0
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "bar"
Option "LeftOf" "foo"
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x800"

Any suggestion?
Thank you very much,
Leo
