Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting a dual monitor configuration set up. I have a Dell Latitude D800 laptop, and I have a 1280 x 1024 monitor hooked up to the VGA port.
So far, I've managed to install the nVidia 96 graphics drivers, figure out a good configuration using the provided nVidia X Server Settings program which gave me an xorg.conf, and migrated some of the info from that xorg.conf to Slitaz' xorg.xonf.d.
However, the second monitor is not turning on. I can move my mouse over to where I think the laptop "detects" another screen, but the LED stays yellow and the monitor does not display anything.
I've already checked the BIOS setting and configured the separate video cards - it appears, from lspci, that there may be 2.. So here is all my info:

=================================
Also, the nVidia X Server Settings program thinks that the "CRT" monitor (which is actually a LCD) is supposed to be at 640 x 480 resolution, when in fact it is supposed to be at its native resolution of 1280 x 1024.
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong!
