Hi There!

I have a problem here with my Samsung Q35 notebook and a second Flatpanel 
(Dell Ultrasharp with 1024x768). i want to get those two monitors working...
The Notebook has a intel i945gm chipset and a resolution of 1280x800.

But all i get is just a screen resolution of 1024x768 both on my notebook and 
external screen. 

I made 2 screenshots, and as you can see, there is something wrong.

There is a piece of the second screen on the first screen.

And here you can see, that i cant moove a window more right than that.

Im searching for a solution for a few days now and didnt find anything that 
helped me. Do i have to set up a virtual screen? Or isnt there any way to get 
to different resolutions on the different screens?

Thank you for your help
