I would switch to Linux - any distro - in a heartbeat if I can find one that does these this one thing well:
I use my laptop with multiple monitors depending on where I am. Windows handles this perfectly. On all the Linux distros I tried, I always had trouble, and required some kind of editing of some text file hidden somewhere require root access or something. Horrible user experience.
- timf 17y agoIf you have a nvidia card, skip the distro tools. Using nvidia-settings directly does any monitor/resolution/projector etc. combination you want. No xorg.conf hacking required.
- truebosko 17y agoIf you have an ATI card, this is pretty much par for the course. I've spent countless hours trying to get mine to work with dual monitors. It just simply doesn't work since I have monitors with different aspect ratios (one is widescreen). Nvidia, as mentioned is a good brand of card to have as it works much more nicely on most linux distros.

- srogers 17y agoATI recently released a Linux version of their Catalyst Control Center. I had a fairly smooth experience on Lenny Debian with the ATI Radeon X1550.
