Hi,

Happy new year!

I have a question :
on my laptop (debian sid), I have a second monitor on the VGA output.

I don't have any problem on the VGA output when the monitor has the same
display resolution (1400x1050) as the LVDS monitor.
But when my second monitor has a lower resolution (1024x768), I can have
a correct "clone" mode : on the second monitor I have a part of the
"big" one (a rectangle 1024x768).

Is there something to do ?

Best regards,
GiGGz
