Dual monitor
« on: 14 May 2004, 02:18 »
I want to setup a dual monitor system on my linux machine. It is a laptop.

I want monitor one to be the primary laptop display (already configured and working), and a monitor that will be plugged into a VGA port in the back of the laptop to be the second.

Is this possible? And if so, how?

I tried doing it with an ATI card. Involved installing the ATI drivers and recompiling the kernel. Geforces are a lot easier to do.
