Hi - The dual head support doesn't seem to work for me (i'm
on a toshiba
satellite 1405-s151 laptop) via redhat-config-xfree86. Whenever I
restart my X server, it merely clones my X screen onto my external
monitor. Looking at my logs, it shows TRIDENT(0) as picking up both
monitors. Should this be happening? I'm assuming that TRIDENT(0) should
only be detecting the lcd, and that TRIDENT(1) should pick up the
monitor.
I don't think that the external video port on most laptops can do
dual-head in the way that true dual-head video cards can (or machines
that have more than one video card).
Even if you configured the file by hand, I don't think it would be
possible to do Xinerama on your laptop for the LCD and an external
monitor.
