Re: Laptop + VGA + X

Hi.

The monitor of my laptop is broken, thus the screen frequently becomes white. Then, it is needed to turning off the energy and restart the laptop (not always with success).

Therefore, I plugged a VGA monitor. However, the VGA monitor does not work when X is active. (It works very fine with framebuffer, though.)

How to enable Xorg to use a VGA monitor plugged to a laptop?

Thanks.

Which desktop manager are you using? Usually they have graphical tools to detect the monitors and switch between them, use them both with the same output or use them as an extra-large single display. It's pretty rare these days to need to fiddle with config files for this.
