Extended desktop for T61 with GM965?
I want to extend my desktop to a 1440x900 lcd screen. Is this possible with the current GM965 intel driver? I've looked around for some xorg.conf's for inspiration but none until now seems to work.
I've tried xrandr, but it says that screen size is restricted to 1280 x 1280.

Re: Extended desktop for T61 with GM965?
I would imagine that the resolution restriction is caused by your hardware, not the driver. My Thinkpad T41 runs at 1400x1050, and Arch Linux recognized my maximum resolution out of the box. I'm not familiar with the T60 line, and it could be the driver, but maybe you should find out what your hardware is capable of first.

Thanks for the link. Now I've got an extended desktop, but it looks a bit weird since it's a 1440x900 monitor with a 1280x800. I guess I need a dual head setup. Hmm ... Got some more reading to do.
