Thanks for your reply.
I did in same way but the monitor is not detecting. It is displaying no signal.
Yes I would like to mention that its 64 bit system.
I have been trying it since one month and I have search the net almost everyday for the solution but no luck yet.

I was confused because only one cursor-theme was installed, namely
dmz-cursor-theme (the default), which made gnome cursor control
System->Preferences->Appearance->Customize Theme->Pointer
seem not to be good for anything. As soon as I loaded some other
themes, namely:
bluecurve-cursor-theme-8.0.2.5.fc12.noarch
moblin-cursor-theme-0.3.2.noarch
oxygen-cursor-themes-4.4.3.1.fc13.1.noarch

I can't speak for the specific packages above, but I will sometimes push a package stable to Fedora N-1 that is identical to a package in Fedora N if the package in Fedora N got sufficient Karma. Maybe that's what happened here?

Why are we still pushing to stable or submitting directly to stable
without people other than the packager testing it?
Maybe because nobody is aware that something's waiting for some karma out there?
I see that openssh was pushed to stable recently. I might've been willing to grab it from testing and give it whirl, but I'm not sure how I would've known about it. Whatever this errata fixed, it obviously didn't affect me, so I was not aware of the open bug, and a pending errata.
It's just a hunch, but here's what I think happens most of the time: someone files a bug, the maintainer picks it up, fixes the bug, pushes the package to testing.
So, you've really got just the bug reporter who's interested in the errata, and is even aware of a package. And most of the time it's an ordinary user who is not even aware of the underlying infrastructure. A canned message gets appended to the Bugzilla entry, saying something to the effect that a package was "pushed" somewhere. The bug reporter may not be aware of the fact that there's some kind of a mechanism to rate the pending update. The bug reporter is most likely waiting until he gets a popup from Packagekit, telling him that an update is ready.
I had someone file a bug against my small, obscure package. It was an enhancement. I finally got around to coding it, tarring it up (I'm my own upstream), then grabbing it with my maintainer hat, building it, and pushing it to testing.
So, how long should I wait for some karma? In the past, I've waited two weeks before requesting a push to stable. Is there a policy document somewhere that lays down the law, on this?

In most cases it is just the matter of plugging in the other monitor
and starting the gnome-display-properties program (System >

through it. Be sure that the physical monitor is turned on too.

Yes, that is true for a "behaving mirror", but in my case,
and on F12, it hangs a very long time (I went away for 30
minutes... came back, and no go!)
So... it was strange.
Seems that the hang in that mirror in question had
a firm grip on the connection and would not time out
at all OR yum thinks somehow the connection is still
live even though there is no activity whatsoever. I
had to ^C the yum connection to break yum, blacklist
the offending mirror and try again. This time it worked.
Strange.

I think that assertion is wrong. Firefox has more users but more
importantly, the large majority of Chrome users are unlikely to be using
Linux and a even smaller percentage would be using Chromium and a even
smaller percentage would be using Spot's repo in Fedora and that's the
number that actually counts.

Well sure enough, I tried several different options in anaconda under
virtualbox and it asked me to init my nic every time. At this point I
don't know if it's a problem of using the livecd tools, which is
unlikely, or that it doesn't see the nic on my netbook, which seems
equally unlikely since I had F12 running on it quite well without any
3rd party drivers.
One thing I do know, the error message could be far more useful.

Whilst above is true - the vast majority of linux users may very well
be or will be using chrome even if they are not the majority of chrome
users. Obviously because Linux is not the majority of desktop os' users
either - tho it is becoming the dominant server os (see top 500 list for
example how it is dominated by linux). So of course we are not the
dominant browser users either .. so what.
Chrome is the up and comer and will overtake firefox in due time imho.
It is way, way, way better than firefox in a large number of important
ways. It is young still but in a short time has gained enormous
momentum. And it is not just windows users switching.
However, that is google-chrome - I have not tried spots repo for a
while but when I first tried it it was far less functional than
google-chrome - cannot tell you why (java flash problems primarily if I
recall).
At present chrome is eating mostly IE users and safari users ... and
linux firefox users. I actually no longer know anyone using firefox on
linux (not saying there are none) but everyone I know using linux -
regardless of distro is using google-chrome and holding firefox
just-in-case something has stupidly checked for IE/FF.
Everyone I know used to use firefox on linux - and that has changed ..
ok not 70 MM but quite a large number!
We should be advancing chrome (or chromium) - it is in our best
interest - to work on either chromium or with google to include
google-chrome in fedora. Google has switched their desktops to linux or
mac (users choice) - now theres a few more chrome users on linux .. ;-)

I'm a little late to the conversation but just to offer another
option. I actually did want LVM on my EEEPC 701. I only have a 4GB
main SSD as well and I also have a 4GB SD card it it. On my original
install of F12 I found the SSD to be rather slow so since I don't keep
anything important on it I decided to experiment with an LVM striped
volume. I end up wasting a little space for two reasons. One I need a
/boot that's not in LVM, and two, although both are considered 4GB
storage devices, they are not exactly the same size.
Anyway, I used gparted from System Rescue CD on a flash drive to setup
my partitions since anaconda can be rather limiting, especially prior
to the F13 version. Then I use the custom disk layout option and
manually set everything up.
I find a noticeable reduction in program load times with the LVM
stripe and if eithe drive goes bad, no problem. Like I said I don't
keep anything important on it.
