Well you can use xrandr. There is also a visual fronted to it called arandr.

Thanks for pointing that out. Finally I solved my issue with

- xrandr which returned

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 32767 x 32767 LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm VGA1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0

And then

xrandr --output LVDS1 --preferred --primary --output VGA1 --preferred --right-of LVDS1
