Hi everyone.
Is there anyone using xfce 4.6 in a notebook, one card with internal LCD and
a external VGA connector or whatelse external connector, who had got desktop
and display programs in settings menu to work fine ? My desktop program only
shows me just one monitor and display shows me just one screen.
My intention is have two screens where a maximized program fits just in one
monitor and the xfce panel appears in just one monitor too. There is another
requisit, sometimes my VGA is plugged, sometimes not.
I don't have xinerama use flag enabled and have no intention to use it. I
had read a lot of dualhead configuration at gentoo wiki and other sites, but
they didn't work for me.
If you are a luck guy with a notebook as I described, please share your
xorg.conf and xrand comands with me.
Here is my xorg.conf :

Nowadays I'm using this command to active the VGA monitor, but the result
is a big screen with a lot of programs doesn't work well.
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --above LVDS
and this to deactive VGA
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS
