Hiya ppl,
I need some help, im not a complete newbie but im stuck with a problem..
the basics:
I have compaq evo n1015v laptop, mandrake 10 and KDE all working fine, i have an FTP server running and lots of bells and whistles installed fine like Java and bittorrent
It contains the IGP 320m graphics chip set, for which ATI and compaq have no drivers for the 3D acceleration, but the general things work ok, correct resolution etc etc all fine no probs
I have plugged an additional monitor in to the back of my laptop. During boot and up to the text logon i use (think its bash or whatever) it works fine and i get a replica of the display on both screens..
When i go "kde " or "startx" the second monitor turns off...
I'd like to have "big desktop" or whatever but would be happy just to have the display mirrored on the second screen for starters.. Im sure i just need to edit my XF86Config-4 file which ive provided below:
Can some one please tell me, in simple terms, how i get this display to work?.. ive tried studying other people config files, but to be honest i dont know what im doing and ive already tried a couple of things and couldnt get KDE to work at all afterwards.. luckily (!?) i was savvy and had a backup which i restored as root via the console (this i was pleased about because ive spent quite a long time learning the commands and VIM etc)
So having a "big desktop" or whatever is secondary to just getting the thing working and displaying what i see here.. although i would like eventually be able to use them independantly..
Also im having a problem with mplayer and openoffice maximising just off the screen so i cant grab the top of them and move them down, if anyone knows what that might be that'd be great but im just really interested in the monitor at the moment - also thats a software problem and belongs somewhere else eh..
Thanks in advance!
