Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly... Do you have 2
screens, and want to switch the output of your gfx-card from one screen
to the other? You could use both at the same time :)
Anyway - "xrandr" is your friend.
To see your adapters and modes run "xrandr" without options, then use
something like "xrandr --output VGA --off --output LCD --auto" (maybe
use "--mode 1920x1200" instead of "--auto". You have to experiment with
this...

Bye,
Daniel
