Hi there !
I think I'm almost bold ...
I try to set up a functional dual screen and everything I do don't work
Here is the thing : I have a laptop. When it isn't connected to my second screen, I'd like it to have a normal resolution (in fact, 1280x800).
When I connect it to my second screen, I'd like to have dual-head configuration, with the second screen at resolution 1680x1050.
The problem is, whatever I try, I cannot have dual-head or also big-desktop.
For example, if I try dual-head, with aticonfig (I always play with aticonfig, the graphical app doesn't seems to be very functional), and I restart X11, it seems to work. I mean, I have two different desktops.
But my mouse CANNOT go outside my first screen (so can never be on the second screen... what da .. ???)
If I try to set up big desktop mode, with --dtop=horizontal,reverse, I got a error message :
So what can I do ???
Here is some commands I tried :
And, of course, I search on the web, on the doc, on fedora's doc. Nothing helped me
Here is all (I hope) you need to know :
My first screen is a laptop one, in 1280x800 (Dell Inspiron 6400)
My second screen is a 22", BenQ, in 1680x1050 (I wish
).
I'd like to have my first screen LIMITED to it resolution (with xrandr for example, my first screen have the same heign than the second because it is bigger (and set to horizontal), that's not good :s).
My graphical card is a Ati Mobility Radeon X1400 and I'm on Fedora 10 x86. The Direct Rendering works fine (I have the desktop effects enabled and beryl/compiz-fusion too).
Thank you for your help !
