LCD / Monitor Switching

[the-Jer]

I've been having a problem with XFree switching to my LCD.

My setup is, when I'm at home I have the laptop plugged into my monitor. XFree, however, likes to swtich back to the LCD as soon as it starts up. Then I have open the laptop and use the function keys to switch the display back to the monitor.

Now if I get into XFree and then Crtl-Alt-Backspace out of it, when it comes back to the console it will go back to diplaying on the monitor.

Is there a way to make XFree use the monitor if it's hooked up?

I hope all that made sense.

TIA!

You could just have X use both by default. It will send data to both, but if the monitor isn't hooked up, no signal will be sent. Granted, X will show up on both monitors, but it sounds like that will solve your problem.

OK. That sounds reasonable.

Is there a place in the X config I can tell it to do this? or do I need to RTFM?
