A quick warning: Be very careful about plugging in a second monitor to the unit! I did do and the unit decided that it would only run at 1280x1024 resolution and would start with about a half inch of video at the bottom of the screen. If I used the Fn-F7 to switch between displays I learned that the display came up fine on the second monitor and, when switched back to the LCD screen, it would display properly, except that the resolution was reduced to 1280x1024. I then shut down and unplugged the external monitor. When I rebooted, everything was fine and I had 1440x1050 again. This behavior is very weird to me. I was hoping to get the second monitor to run Xinerama, but now I'm unsure that I can do much of anything with it. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
