Hi All,

I have a dual-head set-up - Thinkpad T60, i950 - with the following X server layout options:
a) Using only the LCD display
b) Using the LCD and an external monitor in Xinerama mode
I was already able to create two xorg.conf files that work in each of these modes. I can switch from one to the other by changing the xorg.conf file and restarting X.

I'm now trying to find out if there is any way in which I can switch from one configuration to another WITHOUT having to restart X, the same way I can do it in Windows by enabling/disabling the second screen.
I'm guessing that it may be possible since this is not all that different from dynamically switching resolutions with ctrl-alt-+/- but I don't seem to be able to find any reference on how to do this.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Julian

any guide to how you set up your external monitor? i just found an lcd monitor and am trying to get it to work with my laptop.

From a terminal, `xrandr` to view the resolution options. `xrandr -s #` where # is one of the left-hand column values.
