Re: Extending the size of my display

[Pedro António Neves <paneves@ualg.pt>]

Hi Thomas:

I read on your message that you're using dual displays on a Toshiba M30.
I'm trying to do the same, and it works fine, except that the LCD screen
is always very dark (like 50% brightness or so). Are you having the same
problem?

Thanks in advance:

Pedro Neves
