xrandr ?
I bought a new, bigger monitor to use with my notebook. I've already configured X, but sometimes I like to write on the tty (there are less distractions there) and I'm having a little problem with it.
The native resolution of the notebook screen is 1280x800 and the native resolution of the external monitor is 1920x1080, so when I'm on the tty, the external monitor uses only a box on the top left side with a size of 1280x800.
What I would like to do is turn off the notebook monitor and use only the external monitor with its native resolution, without, of course, messing with my X setup, as it's already set.
I'm using a Intel GMA965 with KMS.
it should support virtual size of 4096x4096 by default, so you are fine.

As I said, X is fine. My problem is when using the ttys (alt-f[1-6]), and xrandr doesn't work there. -- Andre
