I have a laptop with a 640x480 display. I also have an external monitor that can display 800x600. I have my XF86Config set up along the following lines: ... Section "Monitor" Identifier "Laptop Display" ... EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Big Monitor" ... EndSection ... Section "Screen" Driver "svga" Monitor "Laptop Display" Subsection "Display" Modes "640x480" Virtual 640 480 ... EndSubsection EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "svga" Monitor "Big Monitor" Subsection "Display" Modes "800x600" "640x480" Virtual 800 600 ... EndSubsection EndSection The effect I'm trying to achieve is that when I'm using the big monitor, I get an 800x600 display (with no panning), and when I'm using the laptop monitor, I get a 640x480 display (with no panning). Instead, I get 800x600 no matter what. If I take the "640x480" mode out of the "Big Monitor" Screen section, it barfs saying that I don't have the requisite dot-clock for 800x600 mode. Can anyone spare a clue? Thanks. -- Andrew Arensburger, Systems guy Center for Automation Research arensb@cfar.umd.edu University of Maryland I fight for what I believe in.
