Intel 945Gm Dual Head

[dtgames at kinggeek.org]

Thanks for the quick response.  By the time I got it I already had one
desktop spanned across two displays @ 1024x768 configured and working the
way I want.

Initially I tried the xrandr dynamic method in
http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html this did not work.  I got
a 1024x768 cloned desktop. "xrandr -q" only reported max of 1280x1280.

I then tried the hard config in xorg.conf.  This still did not work, same
result as above, but it changed the output of "xrandr -q" to max of
2048x768

NOW "xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS" works and I got a .  Is "virtual
2048 768" in xorg.conf required for "xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS"
to work?  I made a couple of changes to xorg.conf and now it is working
without the xrandr command.

I changed the virtual max to 2304x1024 but still only get one desktop
spanned across two Displays @ 1024x768.  I cant get the second display to
run at 1280x1024.

Strange thing is is if I run xvidtune it reports 1280x1024 as the current
resolution.

"xrandr -q' now reports:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2048 x 768, maximum 2304 x 1024

   640x480        59.9     60.0     58.8
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right)

If I try "xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS --mode 1280x1024" the
external LCD display tries to run at a different mode than the laptop
display but it does not really work.  Modeline problem in xorg.conf? 
Below is the only 1280x1024 modeline entry in my xorg.conf.

Modeline 	"1280x1024" 112.62 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1061
