Then xrandr -s [the > number of my favourite resolution in the list]. "xrandr -s 1024x768" sets the resolution to 1024x768, but LCD display still shows 1280x1024 when I press its "Show info" button. Beamer doesn't work in that resolution. Also, I can see black stripes (1 cm or so on a 19 inch LCD) below and above the image, where I can't move the mouse. > For further information look there: > http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html > (or any xrandr 1.2 tutorial for that matter). I think the problem lies somewhere else. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
