Hi,
I’m running Opensuse 10.3 on an Acer 5315 laptop, which uses the Intel 935 chipset.
I need to be able to use this to drive a second monitor (particularly for presentations). When I connect the second monitor, the display is the wrong size (too large for the external screen).
I have tried using Sax2 to fix this, in clone mode. When I set the second monitor’s resolution and bring up the Sax2 test, everything is correct. However, it never “remembers” the setting: even a restart of the machine fails to show the correct size on the monitor.
Here’s the xorg.conf when testing with an external CRT:
