Re: How to make work dual monitors with Debian etch on an IBM x60s ThinkPad?



I've been wanting to set up my R60 so that I can use my desktop monitor for a while. However, reading this thread and googling around, checking the thinkwiki, i'm not getting it.

I've got the right drivers installed and set up i xorg - i810
I've got tpb installed for using the thinkpad special keys
I just now installed i810switch, as suggested above in this thread.

The Fn-F7 combo doesn't do anything. i810switch gives the following:

PCI id of i810 is not recognized.

man tpb and the thinkwiki make it seem like I should do something with that program, but it makes absolutely no sense to me.

Google brings me lots of xorg.confs, but I don't know which apply to me, or what modifications are necessary. Do I need to 'install' the monitor somewhere?

Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm mainly interested in having the same display on both screens, like for presentations or using my desktop monitor as the only monitor. Having different displays would be nice, but not so important.

Thanks,

Tyle
