| Hi,

hi,

| I recently attached a Dell LCD (1024x768 @60Hz) to my laptop. I am
| able to see the extended desktop in Win XP Pro, but in Ubuntu I can
| only see the cloned screen. The card on the laptop as per lspci is:

| 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM
| Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
| 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
| Graphics Device (rev 02)

| The xrandr -q output is:

| $ xrandr -q
| Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024
| VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
| 304mm x 228mm
|    1024x768       60.0*+   75.1     70.1     60.0*
|    800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
|    640x480        75.0     72.8     60.0
|    720x400        70.1
| LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 
0mm
|    1024x768       60.0*+   85.0     75.0     70.1     60.0
|    832x624        74.6
|    800x600        85.1     72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
|    640x480        85.0     72.8     75.0     59.9
|    720x400        85.0
|    640x400        85.1
|    640x350        85.1

| As you can see the maximum screen is being reported as 1024x1024
| instead of 2048x768 (or 2048x2048). I have tried changing my xorg.conf
| and specifying a larger virtual desktop also but Ubuntu switches to
| low resolution mode under new xorg.conf file.

| Could someone please help.

Check out "Intel Linux Graphics: Dual Head Setup How To"[1]. I used that
to have my 1440x900 notebook LCD working with my 1440x900 desktop LCD,
getting a 2880x900 resolution :). But, I've only tried with 965G, not
with 855GM chipset.
