You'll probably get more help from the desktop-discuss list with this question. You may want to post there. Generally speaking, in the most recent builds things "just work". If you have an NVidia chipset, you'll need to use the control panel for it to detect the external display, then set up the X configuration you want. Some configurations (for instance, multi-monitor), may require you to save the xorg.conf to /etc/X11 then log out and back in. There have been some systems with buggy edid reporting that require specific modifications to the xorg.conf. If you find you cannot do it with the built in desktop control panels (either the NVidia or the regular Gnome screen settings), then these may help: http://blogs.sun.com/mingenthron/entry/xorg_with_nvidia_geforce_go http://blogs.sun.com/ashu/entry/two_ways_of_connecting_a http://blogs.sun.com/chrisg/entry/xorg_conf_for_toshiba_tecra Regards, - Matt -- Matt Ingenthron http://blogs.sun.com/mingenthron/ email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
