So I've basically gotten everything working so that my laptop can use an external monitor. In fact, it works almost perfectly. I set up a "Screen" section that holds the information about the project I'm using (external monitor) and setup options to hold the information about my laptop's monitor. When I "startx" the display comes up perfect on the laptop and a bit too small on the project (Approximately 15% too small). The odd part is that if I remove the twinview data (which holds my laptop's info) from the "Screen Section" the project displays perfectly, and my laptop's monitor is then about 60% too small. I've attached my XF86Config file. Any help would be appreciated, as this is pretty hard to debug. ~ Matthew
