This is in response to some emails I found in the archives online from November 2004, but is very relevant to me today. <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004206.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004206.html</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004210.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004210.html</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004228.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004228.html</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004235.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-November/004235.html</a> I have a laptop with the intel 855GM chipset and I have been trying to rig a dual monitor setup for over a week now, tinkering with my xorg.conf file and the suse utility sax2. I would like to use both my laptop's display and a 19" Samsung 930b LCD Analog display. I cannot get the kinks worked out of it. Right now when I boot with the attached xorg.conf file, upon X loading I get both screens with a pale green display. This doesn't freeze the system, but I cannot kill X, which forces me to reboot. I'm curious if the person who posted this problem earlier obtained a solution or if perhaps anyone else would like to guide me through this problem.
