If I now read the output of xrandr correctly, the preferred mode is correct for both monitor (maximum resolution of each monitor) just I do not want the number of pixel displayed on my LCD being a 1280x1024 windows of a 1400x1050 output but because then I cannot seen the whole picture. Then if I put something like Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" on my LVDS panel, then I will have to use xrandr to swicth manually when undocking. Side question: why are the xrandr displayed mode wrong ?(no 1600 x1024 for the VGA-0, and 1280x1024 is possible on the LVDS). From memory it does not reflect what the drivers correctly found probing the displays (see my previous Xorg.0.log) -- eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
