Hi there,
Thank you for your interest.
I am on an almost fresh installation of a GNU/Lixnu Debian Squeeze with XFCE4 Desktop Environment on a laptop DELL Latitude D620
My Graphics Card is:
jmanuel@nomada:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
I have an external BENQ monitor. Both, laptop screen and monitor screen are working but one is a mirror of the other.
If I go to Screen Config section I can only see one screen config. [see

I would like to use dual screen since as you know it is quite practical for web developing, that is my job, but I can't figure out how could I set it up.
Because some readings navigating the net I have guessed it is possible with the system I have choosed, but nothing related to how I can achieve.
Does exist any package to configure it as I used to do with another box with a nvidea Graphics Card?
With other distributions as Ubuntu even if the screen resolution was not perfect for both screens at the same time, I could set up both screens with the Screen Configuration Application, so I wonder if it is just a matter to update the Screen Config program that comes by default with XFCE4, XFCE4 need more clever tricks to get dual monitoring working or is just not possible with this Desktop, but I guess it might be a xorg configuration thing more than a Desktop Environment property.
I choosed XFCE4 to use the least resources as possible since I just want to keep the system working as fast as I can, but if XFCE4 finally doesn't allow this I will try gnome3.
Somebody around could help/guide/advice ? I will appreciate.
Thanks for your time reading this post.
Keep yourself well.
Cheers,
