About Me

I'm a long time Linux user and former software engineer who still tries to find time to write code when I can.

My Projects

Any code I've published you should be able to find on my [https://code.launchpad.net/~mgreenly/ Launchpad] page.

My Laptop

I purchased a new Dell Latitude D830 in June of 2007. I started a page for it over at ["LaptopTestingTeam/DellLatitudeD830"].

Dual Head Configuration

Below is my X11/xorg.conf script, it works as expected with xrandr. You'll notice I have the Intel graphics adapter and the WXGA (1280x800) attached LCD. I use this laptop with an external 1280x1024 monitor. This creates a max virutal screen of 2560x1024.

xrandr script

I use this script to configure my display. it requires ruby to be installed

if %x{xrandr} =~ /TMDS-1 connected/
  %x{xrandr --output TMDS-1 --mode 1280x1024}
  %x{xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --left-of TMDS-1}
else  
  %x{xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800}
end
