Hi,
at the moment I am trying to get support for an external monitor in X.Org on my laptop.
I read a lot and it already got better, but still no final solution.
The problem is, that the external monitor turns on, but it doesn't show anything.
The LCD has a resolution of 1280*800 and I want the external to be 1024*768 or 800*600 (just for presentations).
My Card is an X3100 from Intel:
[root@bla test]# dmesg | grep Intel
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7100 @ 1.80GHz stepping 0d
agpgart: Detected an Intel 965GM Chipset.
[...]My X.Org Config looks like this:

I'm not really sure, but I believe xorg in the testing repo might bring some improvements in that matter - if you're actually using xorg from the current repo right now.

I already have the xorg-server etc. from testing, but thanks for the reply.

I don't understand why X detects the monitor and turns it on but GNOME isn't showing anything...

I have seen that there are multiple Compiz Fusion plug-ins to setup Dual-Monitors.
Would it help to use Compiz to get something on the other screen?
But how would clone work, when the second display is smaller? Would the bigger display get the resolution if the smaller one?
