Angry Fedora + Dell Inspirion 600m Dual Head Setup ???


Hi all;

I have Fedora Core 1 running on a Dell Inspirion 600m laptop. I'm told that this laptop supports a dual-head config via the same video card.

I've messed with the tools & the XF86Config file a bit with no luck. I have a display on both the laptop display and an LCD flat panel monitor (connected via the monitor connection
at the back of the laptop) . However it's the same display on both monitors (i.e. I cannot move th mouse or an opened window from one display to the other.

Here's my XF86Config file (I am running XF86Config ver 4.3.0-55):# XFree86 4 configuration created by redhat-config-xfree86

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
