Hi,

I have a Dell Laptop 640m. I have a Sony SDM-HS74 LCD attached on the
VGA port of my computer. It kind of works ok but I have two questions:

1. If I maximize a window on the Sony screen (1280x1024) I only get
the height of the Dell screen (800) with the bottom part of the screen
undused. The toolbar however is still at the very bottom of the LCD
screen.

2. I would like to get dual head setup, but I really can't seem to get
it to work. I either get X-server errors and have to revert or I get
no effect at all, i.e. two mirrored displays.

Here's the output of xrandr -q

Thanks for any hints.
