Hi Fabian,

Thanks for your feedback.

You can issue a simple command :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Or even simpler because you're using the default mode :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode auto --right-of LVDS1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The expected behaviour, is that when issuing or xrandr command, you
don't have to restart. Your new screen will be detected and added to
your screen list (visible with sdump command).

Maybe you have an outdated revision of xrandr.
Please note you need to have xrandr >= 1.3 running.

You can check your version with the following command :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
address@hidden xrandr --version 
xrandr program version       1.5.0
Server reports RandR version 1.5
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What is the output on your system for this command ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
