I filed an Enhancement at suse bugzilla at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=143286 .

Now (10.2) everything should work from first installation and no further xorg tweaking is required The only remaining to see is an SDcard reader working! I ll submit it soon as well

Oh, ment to mention that I have notes about getting a dual head (lcd screen + laptop screen) working in parallel.

You can drag n drop between screens, having essentially two desktops visible at any one time. It’s most neat.

All on the notes.minty.org url above.

I have Kubuntu working on this machine, details at

http://notes.minty.org/

There is a mailing list there too, with a few users.

It has been reported that the newer (K)Ubuntu (Dapper Dan) also works pretty flawlessly.

Thank you so much for this information. I own a Sony Vaio VGN-TX650P which should not be different to the one that you have. I tried FC4 before trying Suse and I wasn’t able to use the wireless connection and the whole screen. I tried Suse 10, edited the file xorg.conf and it worked!

For a videoprojector what works for me is:
In your xorg.conf file section “Device” add the two following options:
Option “MonitorLayout” “CRT,LFP”
Option “Clone” “true”
(suse 10.O (vaio TX1HP)
Best, vincent

Hi, always with my VGN-TX1HP with Linux Suze 10.0 : impossible to activate an external monitor.
Thank you for your help.

Yes … when “1366×768″ is at the beginning of the lines … it’s better !!!
Thanks

Hmm, in the

Section "Screen" ... EndSection

part, do you have “1366×768″ as the beginning of each Modes line as the first choice?

You can rut xdpyinfo to see what size it chose, and also look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it describes the 1366×768 size as it starts up.
