Trying to use 2 monitors

[anemone42]

And well, it doesn't work. The external monitor just shows a bright green screen.

Trying to post the result of lshw, but can't because it's considered a URL?

I still have this problem. Please help.

I probably can't help you even if I knew more details, but I'll bet others here could. Help them help you:

What is your Linux distro/version?

What desktop are you using?

What have you tried?

Post your xorg.conf if you have one and have modified it.

Have a look at this. Hopefully it will be straight forward enough to follow.

Ubuntu version: 11.10

Computer: HP620

I haven't changed xorg.conf or tried anything else.

I just want clone mode to work.

The laptop and the monitor is not the same format (one is about 4 x 3, the other probably 16 x 9).

The monitor is connected through this docking station: www nivo co za #buy~hp.usb.2.0.port.replicator.ay052aa.~p21775

This is how far I've got:

screens.zip results in monitor having bright green screen.

screens2.zip does not work, as shown in the 4 screen shots in the next post.
