Configured Dual-Head By Myself :-)

Yey! I was able to set-up dual-monitor on my newly-formatted laptop all by myself! I didn't need to ask for help from our great sysads, JM and Ealden. I can still do sysad work! :-) It took me 7 hours of my otherwise productive time doing my real job (boring management work) Thanks a lot to the ThinkWiki website.



The key issue I had was setting the "Virtual" entry. I blindly set it to "2048 2048" like the article said, not knowing that I was setting the total dimension of the two desktops combined. I set "Virtual" to "2720 900" and then xrandr worked fine after that.

Update: Was now able to configure my Logitect Marble Mouse to use the small scroll buttons by following this very simple this How-To.
