    I'm not even talking about at the same time. If I close my laptop
    display (or boot up with it closed) I should be able to use my external
    display at a different resolution. At one time I had FC3 working like
    this. Windows is able to do it (and no, I'm not interested going back to
    Windows!).

    Thanks,
