Laptop VGA Dual Output Resolution Configuration and Switching

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Dell Latitude D610 running FC5 with all latest updates and also kmod-fglrx to support the ATI card on the laptop. At work I need from time to time to switch between the laptop LCD display to an external monitor and vice versa.
This normally facilitated with a shortcut key on the keyboard Fn+F8.

However, I have not been able to get it working with FC5 so far.
If I connected the external monitor to the laptop VGA output port I always have both the laptop LCD and the external monitor displaying at the same time. And the laptop LCD is working at 1400 x 1050 pixels while the external monitor can only support 1280 x 1025 which causes the desktop display to be cropped.

Any clues on how to make the configuration so that FC5 will be able to switch normally between the display and to make it support different resolution automatically?
Thanks in advance
