After searching for hours, I was extremely pleased to find a helpful instruction for getting dual head on my laptop (Lenovo 3000 N200, OS=Hardy) with Intel's notorious GM965 on-board card. The only tweak I needed was to add (as described by be in part I, thank you eb!): | SubSection "Display" | Virtual 2048 2048 | EndSubSection into xorg.config, and hey presto, after a reboot i could configure the external monitor *above* the internal one, using Gnome's Screen&Graphics tool. (1280x800 and ext. 1280x1024). This however is still a compromise as I cannot place the two screens *besides* each other, they're arranged vertically. Obviously, the virtual memory has to be set higher. In my case, 2560x2560 would be ok. I could not patch i956_render.c nor the mesa file, as described by eb. I'm *not* an experienced user of bash, obviously I'm missing something out. Could PLEASE any reader give me the detailed steps for performing the patches? Thank you very much, hjm313 Virtual Memory: PLEASE HELP!
