Re: [opensuse] Duel Screening
What is the video card brand? Do they have native linux drivers? Did you install them? Did you try to config it using the native programs? The card is an Intel 965G It has linux drivers that are installed and working. I tried configuring it with sax2, that did not work. I have been playing with the xorg.conf file and have made some progress with xrandr which gives me the status as: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1280 VGA connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm 1024x768 75.1 + 70.1 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 832x62474.6 800x60072.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48075.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x40070.1 1024x768_6060.0* LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 246mm x 185mm 1024x768 50.0*+ 60.0 40.0 800x60060.3 640x48060.0 59.9 (notice that on the first line: maximum [resalution =] 1280 x 1280 But this does not match my config file.

This is the only screen section, and notice the Virtual2304 2304... When I run: $xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS (which apears to be the command I want) I get: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1280x1280 (desired size 2048x768) I have restarted the computer with the hope that this will take effect, but it did not. How do I get my virtual screen size to change?

Hi Neil, I do appreciate your preference. But this list has it's rules, (netiquette) and we all try to follow it as good guests. There were thousands of discussions like this in the past, so there is no need of a new one. You are free to express yourself the way you like it - the consequence will be that if you do not follow the list's netquette, you most probably would not receive all the help you need, or your email will end up filtered out by most of the old users, which are most likely to be able to help you.

Hi Neil, I do appreciate your preference. Lets look at it from a different perspective. Say you are a new user to linux, suse, etc and you have a problem and are searching for an answer. You find a post here on the opensuse list that might have the answer you are looking for, but when you are reading it, you find that the responses appear to be out of order, because of personal tastes of individuals who replied. Now being a new user, are you going to be able to sort thru that message and be able to put things in the order they are suppose to be in (like performing certain steps in a certain order)? I agree, for personal email, or work-related email for that matter, top posting is preferred. But for mailing lists, newsgroups and the likes, bottom posting should be preferred, not because of your personal preference, but for the person who comes along in the future who may not have a clue to anything and they will need to read the post in the order that it should be in, from top to bottom.

As promise here's some more info on the posting models, probably more than you want to know. Anyway... = How to Post Replies (Originally posted to an online University of Phoenix class.) I have noticed that the postings here keep getting longer and longer, making it difficult to determine who and what is being responded to. A general rule is to edit out those parts that do not relate to your reply. However, there are three response models to choose from. 1. Top Posting - This is where you put your reply at the top of the message with all other earlier replies below. This appears to be the model that UOP prefers. While top posting makes it easier for the person replying, it makes it more difficult for a reader since she has to scroll down to find the message you are replying to. Since the goal is to get your point across, you should make it as easy as possible for readers to figure out your point. 2. Bottom Posting - This is where you put your reply at the bottom of the message with all other earlier replies above. While bottom posting makes it more difficult for the person replying, it makes it easier for the reader, especially if this model is combined with appropriate editing of the message you are replying to. 3. Dispersed Posting - This is where you insert your reply just below the part of the message you are replying to. This may result in several parts of a reply 'dispersed' throughout the message being replied to. This is the most difficult for the person replying since it almost requires editing but it results in better communications since the reader has no problem figuring out what the reply is replying to. While there is no model, there is one more situation that I refer to as 'random' posting. This occurs when some participants in a thread top post, others bottom post, and a third may try to use dispersed posting, all without regard to what has gone before. In these cases, it becomes almost impossible to determine what the latest reply is replying to. Unfortunately, this seems to happen a lot in the UOP forums. So, what do you do in such a situation? The rule I try to follow is to use whatever model was used earlier. In other words, if the first reply is top-posted, then I will top post my reply. If the first reply is bottom posted, I will bottom post my reply. If everyone would follow this rule, the discussions would be much easier to follow. But we cannot control those who will not comply. So, in order to get your point across, it becomes incumbent on you to edit out irrelevant parts of the message you are replying to so that there is no doubt which part you are replying to. Remember that your posts must be substantive in order to count toward participation. If I cannot figure out what you are replying to, I may decide that it is not
