 |

( post #1)
Dear All, I have a Laptop with a 1024*768 screen, and Occasionally
I would like to connect it up to an external 1280*1024 screen.
I would like to be able to access these options in KDE's Resize & Rotate.
The only options I can see in there are 1024*768, 800*600 and 640*480.
I basically want to have a screen in 1024*768 most of the time, with possibility
of changing up to 1280*1024 when necessary.
I should be able to switch to an external screen using a BIOS command.
My xorg.conf is nice & simple and looks like:

Thanks very much for any help!
Obviously I need the computer to start in 1024*768 mode all the time.
Thanks,

| I would also like to know how to do this as I have had occasion to have a similar setup. So far as I know, there is no way to do it, but maybe others out there have figured it out. |

there must be a way to do it - it' just allowing it to go to 1280*1024 but making it start in
1024*768 - and having this picked up on by KRandRtray
