Has anybody been able to set up extended-mode multi-monitoring (dual head) on the T61 with the preloaded SUSE SLED Linux? Can you comment on the setup? Xinerema is greyed out
Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

First off, what video card are you using?

The SLED preload for x61's only comes on units with the Intel x3100 card.

Ah! Then XrandR is the tool he is looking for.

I was not able to get dual head to work with my T61 and Ubuntu Hardy. How does XRandR help? Its description didn't look that promising.

You can use XRandR to resize and rotate your screen on the fly.
To see if any monitors are hooked up:
To extend to one side:
Code: Select all
xrandr --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS
