Ok, if you're sure you can't resolve the problem with hardware specific options, no problem. Just some infos: On my laptop, using GeForce4 hardware, i've tried numbers of solutions, mixing hard (driver) and soft ones, and hards one were the bests. Some guidelines: - Multiple X servers: one for the TFT, and the other for VGA out. - Check if Twinview is available for you, respecting multi resolution modes (It works for me, but I choose next option) - Try to configure multiple screens on your card (not twinview mode). -- For an idea to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be always old-fashioned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
