Hi, I tried separate screen and monitor sections.
WITHOUT the line: Option "Display" "CRT"
it just starts the laptop screen in 1400x1050, and then Fn-F8
starts the external monitor in 1400x1050.
WITH the line: Option "Display" "CRT"
it shuts off the laptop display, turns on the external monitor
at 1600x1200, but the image is all wavey/jittery/turbulent.
(see appended addional info)
It's a start. Other suggestions?
