I wander how to config to use the two displaies, one of my laptop, one extra.

On a laptop the display is normally controlled by the "function key" on the laptop or "fn" key + F key "that will have a monitor image on the F key".

...or you can use the xrandr utility, that allows more flexibility.

There's also a gui : grandr.
