Two monitors, modelines, xorg.conf, and all that...
I have a laptop whose widescreen LVDS reports these modelines (correctly, afaik): (II) intel(0): Modeline 1280x800x59.8 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync -vsync (49.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1024x768x60.0 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (48.4 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 800x600x60.3 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 640x480x59.9 25.18 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz) I also have a widescreen VGA monitor, reporting these: (II) intel(0): Modeline 1680x1050x59.9 119.00 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 +hsync -vsync (64.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1680x1050x60.0 146.25 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync (65.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1400x1050x60.0 122.00 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1052 1064 1082 +hsync +vsync (64.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1280x1024x75.0 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (80.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1280x1024x60.0 108.00 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (64.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1440x900x75.0 136.75 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 903 909 942 -hsync +vsync (70.6 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1440x900x59.9 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync (55.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1280x960x60.0 108.00 1280 1376 1488 1800 960 961 964 1000 +hsync +vsync (60.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1152x864x75.0 108.00 1152 1216 1344 1600 864 865 868 900 +hsync +vsync (67.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1024x768x75.0 78.75 1024 1040 1136 1312 768 769 772 800 +hsync +vsync (60.0 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1024x768x70.1 75.00 1024 1048 1184 1328 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (56.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 1024x768x60.0 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync (48.4 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 832x624x74.6 57.28 832 864 928 1152 624 625 628 667 -hsync -vsync (49.7 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 800x600x72.2 50.00 800 856 976 1040 600 637 643 666 +hsync +vsync (48.1 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 800x600x75.0 49.50 800 816 896 1056 600 601 604 625 +hsync +vsync (46.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 800x600x60.3 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 800x600x56.2 36.00 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync (35.2 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 640x480x75.0 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 -hsync -vsync (37.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 640x480x72.8 31.50 640 664 704 832 480 489 492 520 -hsync -vsync (37.9 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 640x480x75.0 31.50 640 656 720 840 480 481 484 500 -hsync -vsync (37.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 640x480x59.9 25.18 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync (31.5 kHz) (II) intel(0): Modeline 720x400x70.1 28.32 720 738 846 900 400 412 414 449 -hsync +vsync (31.5 kHz) When I plug in the VGA, X chooses the highest common resolution, which happens to be 1024x768. I can only ponder as to why a 22 VGA monitor does not want to do 1280x800, but that's not the question. What I would like to have is the following setup: * when VGA is not plugged in, LVDS should be up with its native resolution (1280x800) * when VGA is plugged in, LVDS should be off, while VGA in its native resolution (1680x1050) It would be nice to have this hot-pluggable, but I don't mind restarting X or the computer for the change. Can anybody tell me how to configure xorg.conf to make this happen? My current xorg.conf is fairly simple so far: Section ServerLayout Identifier X.org Configured Screen Screen0 EndSection Section Device Option AccelMethod XAA Identifier Card0 Driver intel VendorName Intel Corporation BoardName Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller BusID PCI:0:2:0 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen0 Device Card0 EndSection The AccelMethod is set to XAA because of that famous intel random lockup thing (it doesn't eliminate the bug, just makes it more rare), everything else is autoconfigured.

What I would like to have is the following setup: Under f11 this appears to have changed, at least for a Acer Aspire One netbook I just tested. When I plug a 1200x1600 monitor into it the desktop comes up 1200x1600 instead of the 1024x600 it is when only the native screen is attached. So the answer my be, just wait a few days and upgrade to f11. With preupgrade is should be a painless upgrade. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
