Re: Using a CRT on PCG-GRX700

Have you set up the second monitors configuration in the XConfig files?

I'm using an external LCD with mine..  albeit I'm half afraid of using
the second monitor because it insists on setting the refresh rate of
both monitors to the same value.  Thus making one either too big or the
other too little.  So far I've lived with making things too big for the
external LCD...
