I try it too :(

I've found this, very interesting

http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:external_monitor

and this

http://wiki.eeeuser.com/using_an_external_monitor

I take it from your use of 915Res the graphics chip is an Intel one, similar to the 945GMA in my Samsung netbook? My LCD is 1024x600 but the exernal monitor is 1024x768 fine, though I have used an increased Virtual as described in the article linked.
You may have luck with ARandR that is in the Wok (unstable) repo. I have a package here:

Sorry I can't be mroe help but HIH.

@seawolf

I've tried the package lxrandr in the cooking repertory . But my external screen is not detected (even if I see Slitaz running on the monitor screen)

I've seen no "Virtual" in the xorg.conf (it supposes we must use only the Xorg version of Slitaz ?)

Other problem, I can see on my external monitor only if connected before boot. So, if I disconnect, then reconnect : no more slitaz on my external monitor

Why ?

http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/comment/5543/#Comment_5543

here is the xorg.conf for the same board (eee box) and my (external) Monitor - but with a different resolution - try to find the modline in the net for your monitor and replace it .....

I've never used LXRandR but I assume it's close to the ARandR, which is just a PyGTK front-end to the randr command.

I too need to have an external monitor connected at boot (well, each time X starts with is at log-in) and then use ARandR to manipulate the arrangement within the virtual screen.

I needed to add that 'Virtual' line to extend my screen area to 1024x(60+768) when a monitor is plugged in, as it remains 1024x600 when not.

HIH.

Ok, I'll test that

But Is it possible to have external monitor configuration with XVESA Slitaz and 915resolution ?

Or do I need to have XORG +RandR ?

I think you should use xorg, because the resolution of xvesa is very limited

to get the possible resolutions type: Xvesa -listmodes

the possible reolutions for the eee are:

VBE version 3.0 (Intel(r) 82945GM Chipset Family Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS)
DAC is switchable, controller is VGA compatible, RAMDAC causes snow
Total memory: 7872 kilobytes
0x015A: 1600x1200x24 TrueColor [8:8:8:8]
0x011B: 1280x1024x24 TrueColor [8:8:8:8]
0x0118: 1024x768x24 TrueColor [8:8:8:8]
0x0112: 640x480x24 TrueColor [8:8:8:8]
0x0115: 800x600x24 TrueColor [8:8:8:8]

This output shows widescreen resolutions cannot be displayed with XVesa.

all documented here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:xorg-xvesa

How did you get these resolutions ? Is it hwn you got an output monitor plugged ?



I've only have this with Xvesa .

915resolution cannot be a way to have more specific resolution ?

I confess I'm not sure; I installed Xorg to get a resolution that wasn't 800x600 (stretched) but I seem to remember XVESA would just duplicate the screens.
I get a similar -listmode output when running the XVesa command during an Xorg session, just without the 1024* res.

it is from the external monitor (I only have an external monitor - it is the Mainboard Kino Atom - the same as in your eee netbook) - your output is for the laptop monitor

I think you can disable your internal monitor in the xorg.conf

Hi Kultex, Hi Seawolf

After having waste too much time with **!** Xorg.conf and it's refuse to start a X session , I prefer to come back to the simplier Xvesa

The question is how I can disable my eee screen and just have external monitor ?

I try Xvesa + lxandr but, as with Xorg, I have this message after this commnd

#xrandr --output LVDS --off
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
warning: output LVDS not found; ignoring


Other exemple test

# xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
warning: output VGA not found; ignoring


All this drives me mad !

Hi Again

My external 1920x1080 newly bought Philips screen can be connected to my eee
with cruncheee linux ,based on ubuntu 8.10 , and using lxrandr 1.1.

So I can switch down my LVDS screen and switch on my 22 monitor and use full resolution ! Cool, no hardware problem so far

I checked in /etc/X11 , Xorg.conf , but it has not much written inside (my idea was to copy/paste it inside Slitaz) ... any idea to generate a classic xorg.conf ??

So, can we expect to have one day a lxrandr fully functionnal in Slitaz ?
