I've found a lot of examples, but none work they way I need them to. I can't manage each screen independently.
I can get the external monitor to work, but not with an independent resolution from the laptop monitor. This means my monitor looks funky.
I did get my fn-F7 to work by inserting
Option "BIOSHotkeys" "on"
Into the "Device" section of xorg.conf. This let's me toggle the external monitor mode.
I still however, can't manage the monitors independently. Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
