xorg + xinerama - but on an on-demand basis



Hi folks,

I've been searching the Net a couple of times for now but I didn't find a
solution to my 'problem'. The thing is I use my mobile at home and at
work. At home I usually only use my laptop monitor only whereas I use a
TFT screen at work. When I start X 'by hand' (without gdm on boot) I may
use the Xinerama layout using the '-layout' parameter. But how can one
achieve that using gdm? gdm just starts the default layout which is the
non-Xinerama one (as a save bet). Does anyone have any hint how to make
gdm 'detect' the laptop has a second monitor attached? Maybe by some
sort of script in my $HOME dir or something? Any hint would be greatly
appreciated.

Rrgards,
Marc
