    Hi,

    I recently installed FC3 on my Sony Z1AP notebook. I have an external
    LCD (viewsonic VG 191b) connected via the DVI port on the docking
    station. The docking station also has a regular analog monitor output.
    I'm trying to get my X desktop to span both LCD monitors. In windows XP
    it works fine. Using the "MonitorLayout" and "Xinerama" options I can
    get both the notebook LCD and external LCD to display the same output,
    but can not get them to display the spanned desktop correctly. I can
    however get an external analog monitor to work correctly (with both
    LCDs still displaying the same output, different than the analog
    monitor).

    Does anyone know how to get this to work?

    Thanks,

    Adam
