My laptop screen is 1400x1050, so this is all that is configured in xorg. But by setting a larger Virtual, I can plug an external monitor or projector into the VGA port, and enable it without restarting X or interrupting any running X program simply by issuing ``xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --left-of LVDS'' and then off with ``xrandr --output VGA --off''. This is one of the main features of the intel driver, xrandr 1.2 support and proper modesetting (so no more 915resolution hacks are required, if they were for you and the i810 driver). > I've compared your config with mine, but I don't see > any significant difference.

I've not noticed any problems related to this warning, and I also have seen this for my nvidia based linux box. I just assumed it is informational, and wouldn't cause any major problems (I may well be wrong :) Cheers Tom --=-sXfI8qtTR5c9OX1278qs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHzuBGlcRvFfyds/cRAn7WAKCh+LigpPOujYtNmjMUXbLq717bPwCgog9t /HbAFZlbbM49bcyaVAGZwdI= =h6C6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-sXfI8qtTR5c9OX1278qs--
