Dual Head on Dell E6410 (Intel Graphics)

[fborden]

Hi,

I have a Dell E6410 with FC13 installed. All is working fine except for the display.
I can not get my laptop display to go to any other resolution than 1440x900.
This gives a problem when using a projector as I can not enable the option "Same image in all monitors". This is because most projectos are 1024x768

I tried creating a xorg.conf but it appears not to being used. Same sort of xorg.conf on Ubuntu 10.04 with Intel DRM kernel worked fine.

From Xorg.0.log:

The xorg.conf won't help you much anymore. You should stick with xrandr - it's most powerful in my opinion. Read a little how to use it.
Anyway, the xrandr output you provided does not report back any output else than your normal laptop screen. Was the projector correctly connected?
