If you compare the resolution from the first and the
second.
That one won't support what the other does doesn't matter. Every supported
mode on one can be absent from the other, and yet both can work at once. It's
*expected* that displays with different native modes can each be used at
their native mode, and it follows that supported modes can be selected
abitrarily and independently. So, I can't imagine how you arrived at that
conclusion.
Meanwhile (and big thanks to you that you forced me
digging into it) I found
what I needed.
:-)
First of all the xorg.conf is not that bad - it
provides to the X server
exactly what I need. Perhaps modlines and some other stuff can be skipped -
agreed.
Back then when I bought the notebook (it is like 1y ago) I did not have that
much time to dig into that, because of too many reasons.
However now I checked again xrandr and found out the
scale-from option
So for example
xrandr --output eDP1 --scale-from 1920x1080
does exactly what I was missing.
:-D Hopefully when you get there you won't be blocked by errors like those
shared in your 2016-01-01 22:49 (UTC+0100) thread post. :-p
Now I need to find out how I can use the two monitors
independent of each
other. I mean when I expand a window it should expand into the range of the
current monitor, the window is in. I'm sure I've had this before.
That seems to describe what you're looking at in
