Interesting, so you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at all? > When I connect a external monitor, I just use this basic script to adjust my > external monitor to have a wide screen (VGA1) > > xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800 > xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --above LVDS1 > > To do this more useful, you can pass the resolution of VGA1 as a parameter. > > To disable wide screen : > > xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 > xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x1024 --same-as LVDS I have seen examples like this, but they all start with "execute `xrandr -q` to see which displays are connected" which in my case doesn't work. I only see something like this: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 2560 x 1024, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1024 default connected 2560x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm 2560x1024 50.0* I think this may be because I'm using the xorg.conf files as generated by the nvidia-settings tool. I'll try starting X without an xorg.conf file to see if this has any effect. Thanks, Mike
