There are graphical XRandr-Wrapper for most of them: x11-misc/arandr, x11-apps/grandr, rox-extra/resolution, lxde-base/lxrandr and kde-base/kephal, just to name a few. That would spare us from testing and providing command line options for you. Anyway, try something like: xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0 Hope this helps, Florian Philipp --------------enigDC5D76D885802FA305D6A322 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzSYqMACgkQqs4uOUlOuU+foACffcfA6iQuURCTXhovTSAqsYZj qmgAn0ygxRzfk2NLnhrqNh6Ep+wnEaWo =mSNh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigDC5D76D885802FA305D6A322--
