Hi,
I have a latop, and an external LCD screen which I connect to my laptop using the VGA output (graphic card is an ATI Radeon Mobility X600).
I'm trying to use dual head, but I've got a little problem: it works great (also with different resolutions on both screens), but the 'primary' display (the one kdm is launched on, and the one with my 'standard' desktop) is the external LCD screen. I would like it to be the lcd screen of my laptop instead, because this is the one I will use (the other will be used to dispaly video, web, ...).
I tried many thing in my xorg.conf (such as switching the screen names, ...), but can't get anything to work.
Here is my full xorg.conf:
Is what I'm trying to do possible (I've seen many person asking the same thing, but with no result)? If yes, how to do it; if no, is there a reason for not allowing it ?
Also, an other question: when using dual head, I can't get to play a video on neither screen: on both it just show a blue window (just like if the overlay was on the other screen). What option do I need to add to my device configuration to be able to play a video on at least one screen ?
Thanks
