Re: F9: still problem with dual head T42
If you run 'xrandr', does it show that the VGA Monitor is connected?
If so, try 'xrandr --output VGA --auto' for a mirror or 'xrandr --output
VGA --left-of LVDS' for a dual-screen. Substitute '--right-of' to move
the monitor to the other side.
I have a Lenovo 3000 y410 using the Intel drivers, but the commands work
the same, and currently have a dual-screen setup using this method.

Could anyone help me out? I waited 18 days for F9 to be released but

does not appear to have fixed many problems with dual heading a T42 with
Radeon Mobility.
I go to 'screen resolution' and unselect 'mirror'. It detects my
monitor
fine but does not display seperate views when I apply. When I go to the
video settings and select 'dual head' I cannot press OK and it does not
detect a 'second video card' even though my Radeon 7500 technically has two
ports.. LCD screen and VGA out.
Please if anyone can help. For my development machine I require three
things to be productive; 1) USB mouse, 2) full-size keyboard, 3) dual head.
I don't believe this is too much to ask of an OS.
I don't want to be stuck with Windows XP and cygwin and I like using Linux,
but I must have dual head. Thanks!
