Multiple monitors Problem ?

Hello all,

I am trying to setup xorg.conf for 2 monitors
     1. Labtop monitors (LVDS1)
     2. External monitors (HDMI1)

so i need the  External monitors  to be the man screen and Labtop monitors to be the External for it. However, all i got so far is a duble of one screen display on both screen. so if i open something it will be display on both screen.

$ xrandr

Re: Multiple monitors Problem ?

You have commented out your screen lines in your device sections.   You could try uncommenting them.

Another option, since it appears that you have one video card is to use metamodes to describe the setups that you want.  It's what I'm currently using with my nvidia card.  Not sure if the same options are available for an Intel card or not.
