This includes Xinerama dual head support, so that you can use both the [LCD] and an external monitor in [XOrg]. This worked for me, on my Presario M2000 laptop running Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary). See the PresarioNotes page for other hints. This also worked on an HP Pavilion DV4000(see PavilionNotes). <tt>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</tt>: <verbatim> # default font stuff that Ubuntu added Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" # paths to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID" EndSection # default modules that Ubuntu added Section "Module" Load "bitmap" Load "dbe" Load "ddc" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "int10" Load "record" Load "type1" Load "vbe" # custom, for HP Pavilion Load "synaptics" # synaptics driver for the touchpad EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" # see /usr/share/doc/xorg-driver-synaptics/README.gz for options Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" # don't do anything for 1-finger taps # this didn't work for me so I disable this device instead Option "TapButton1" "0" # 0 = no action Option "MaxTapMove" "0" # disables 1-finger tap EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel-LCD" Driver "i810" #Driver "vesa" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" Option "VBERestore" "true" VideoRam 16384 # MonitorLayout "pipeA, pipeB". # use fn+F4 to toggle between the 2 pipes when you have # an external device attached # LFP = local flat panel... # CRT+TV means that fn+F4 will switch to using the external # monitor and/or svideo-out if attached Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT+TV,LFP" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Intel-external" Driver "i810" #Driver "vesa" BusID "PCI:0:2:0" VideoRam 16384 Option "Display" "CRT" Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT+TV,LFP" # put crt on pipe A Screen 1 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "LCD" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30.0-71.0 VertRefresh 50-160 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Philips 107S" VendorName "Philips" ModelName "107S" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 30.0-70.0 VertRefresh 50-160 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Local LCD" Device "Intel-LCD" Monitor "LCD" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 # use "1400x1050" or "1280x800" for a widescreen Modes "1400x1050" "1280x800" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" # use standard resolutions for non-widescreens #Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "External Monitor" Device "Intel-external" Monitor "Philips 107S" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Dual Head (Xinerama) Layout" Screen 0 "Local LCD" 0 0 # comment out the following line to stop using two monitors, # and comment out the Xinerama option below Screen 1 "External Monitor" LeftOf "Local LCD" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" # comment out this line to stop using xinerama (dual head) Option "Xinerama" "true" EndSection # note that enabling xinerama disables Direct Rendering...
