After a lot of tests I figured out that I have to add a line Virtual 2048 2048 into the xorg.conf, SubSection "Display", to get the hight resolution of the VGA of the TV; xrandr -q says now: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1920x1080 60.0 + 1280x1024 60.0 1360x768 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 222mm x 125mm 1024x600 60.0*+ 800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9 720x400 85.0 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 and I can switch-on the VGA with something like $ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1920x1080 but, this a) shows on VGA the same content as the screen LVDS (i.e. the laptop display) and b) affects as well the resolution of the LVDS; what I want is some so called Xinerama of the two screens: the laptop stays as it is and the VGA is somehow at its side, both are part of a bigger virtual ascreen and one can move the mouse and X11 clients from one screen to the other, as shown in this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/File:Intel-DualHead.png Will continue working on this; matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
