With a bit of experimenting I now have instead Option "TwinView" "true" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "clone" in my xorg.conf. Now I can switch between the external monitor and my LCD by pressing the "Fn-CRT/LCD" key. However, I need to issue the command "xrandr -s 1024x768", since the external monitor doesn't support my default of 1400x1050. Does anyone know how to make the virtual screen size default to one supported by both monitors? Also, when connecting the external monitor I need to restart X. Would be nicer if that weren't necessary. Ideas? Henry -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
