[Klug-general] Second monitor driver for LXDF setup

[Michael E. Rentell]

Afternoon all,

I've junked WinXP on my old Tosh Satellite laptop and replaced it with 
Linux. I tried a few lightweight versions but eventually settled on LXDF 
from PCLinuxOS, mainly because it keeps all the simple tools I'm used to 
with PCLOS KDE 4.6.

Everything works very nippily; even my Belkin PCMCIA wireless network 
card under ndiswrapper.

The only thing that doesn't work is the second monitor which should be 
available via a D-9 socket on the back. There is an option in 
PCLOS-Control Centre/Configure Video Card/Options/Enable Duplicate 
Display on Duplicate Monitor. I've reset that but still nothing visible 
when I plug in a plasma screen with a D-9 plug, even after a re-boot.

I want to take this laptop to a symposium and use it to display Impress 
(and Pwrpnt!) presentations via a plasma screen available in the auditorium.

Anyone any idea how that might be achieved? Is there some tweak or drive 
I might try that isn't obvious to my ageing faculties?

Just thought I'd ask.
