The fix in the bug report referred to by Ariel Constenla-Haile earlier in this thread, and incorporated into the current AOO 3.4.1 dev builds works. On Ubuntu I was able to hotplug a monitor/beamer and by selecting System Settings /Displays (/ Monitors on earlier Ubuntus) I could turn off "mirror displays", then drag the two monitors to desired positions on the display space. In Lubuntu I hotplugged the monitor/beamer and ran arandr which had the same effect. arandr can save ones configuration (either single monitor or dual - perhaps multiple? - monitors) as a script file. Running the appropriate batch file sets Lubuntu up to recognise the dual monitor positioning; the script files can be linked to hotkeys (arandr gives instructions). All is now working well on my presentation netbook. Many disgruntled listeners may shorty be making little wax dolls labeled "Ariel" and sticking pins into them, so, if you don't feel well, Ariel, you know what is the cause :-) -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
