Re: Laptop + VGA + X

Hi, François.

Eventually this worked:

 xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1280x800
 xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x800 --same-as LVDS-1

I cannot the the entire screen on the CRT(VGA-1) monitor, but I will try 
to configure the monitor to display as much as possible (or the left 
side, at least).

Thanks to all you that helped me!
Cheers!

P.S.: Interestingly, the output still is shown as "disconnected", 
although it is working!:


$ xrandr

LVDS-1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
