Two screens on Inspiron 5150 (Linux)
I have some trouble getting my Inspiron using two different screens. In the configuration given below only the CRT monitor is found. By using FN+F8 I can then (before I start X) decide if the monitor should run 1280x960 or it should be the LCD but in either case only one of them will work. The other screen is simply blank :-(
Can anybody tell me what is wrong with my config file. I have really read the readme appendix R 100+ time to see if I could figure what I'm doing wrong, but still the error eludes me.
The graphic card is a GeForce FX 5200.
I'm running Gentoo Linux, Kernel 2.6.7 with NVidia driver 1.0.5336.
Below I have given my XF86Config where I have placed the most interesting stuff at the top.
