Hi all,
is there a way to run a (cloned) external display at another resolution than the internal one? I am trying to get this to work on an Asus EEE PC. I know how to add the details of a specific display in xorg.conf (like e.g. my TV set). But on my laptop I work with different external display models (= projectors at conferences) and I would need a generic solution that works for every display that I connect. My current status is that external displays are automatically detected, but when I set the resolution higher than the laptop can display, it shows only the upper left part of the desktop. Instead, it should stay at its low resolution while only the projector uses a higher one.
Any help is appreciated!
Here is my (very short) xorg.conf:

(I have commented out the Virtual stuff because X nicely figures it out on its own.)
