Re: xfce + dual monitor setup
well its really dependant on what video card and driver you are using. for example the proprietary nvidia driver has a gui that can adjust the display mode and resolution without restarting X fairly easily but there is no such option with the free nvidia driver.

Re: xfce + dual monitor setup
.. not easy, but super easy for simple dual monitor setup. And i think it def helped to have one of the monitors to be connected with HDMI. here are a few links i found useful: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6738 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors i had dsub + DVI originally and i had to specify the resolution. Once i switched to HDMI+DVI all i have to do is to issue xrandr blah --auto and specify which monitor i want where.

xfce + dual monitor setup
Hello, i want to setup a dual monitor under xfce (4.8) ( and compiz if it matters ). I did a quick search and it seems there are quite a few open bugs. Can you gentlemen, advise on the subject? Maybe point to a good howto? Thank you AZ
