Thanks anyway, Perhaps i just need to stumble upon to rigth xrandr string.. what happens now is that it puts the dividing line between my displays halfway up the external (internal is at 1280 x 800, external at 1280x1024 ) so they need to be one above the other to work nicely, anyway thanks heaps.. if i get the right string i'll add it here. Btw have you bound this to a nice shell script on the acpi event for the screens button? if you load the asus-laptop module you can bind them all up, makes my ugly hack just a tiny bit prettier IMHO Regards Rich Healey -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHwjYzLeTfO4yBSAcRApn9AJ9dj94PWfG87RyRG+5OayHDcU+83gCfVl+p T4sfNBlEWOLSnKVnADBKg2o= =+vVU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
