Hi
I am using a Thinkpad X200s with a Intel Graphic card which supports dual screens. I have installed first Kubuntu 14.04 and then trinity on top of that (I know this approach is not recommended. It would have been better to use the trinity Live CD, but I don't want to reinstall everything).
Now I found out about dspdfviewer which allows (for beamer latex generated pdf) to show the transparencies in two screens.
I tried that out with my laptop being connected to a external LCD screen, however my laptop screen only was cloned and the dspdfviewer developers told me to try out extended desktop mode.
I looked up a bit the trinity kontrol center but could not find anything relevant.
So a pointer would be very well come. I would not mind a link to a command tool such as xrand (which was recommended to me as well).
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

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

Did not work, I don't see two screens odd

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

If Trinity Control Center's peripherals display size & orientation screen's select list of settings for screen doesn't allow other than screen 1, then install arandr from Ubuntu's standard repos and try it.

It did not but xrandr returned someting.

Thanks for pointing that out, meanwhile I obtained the relevant xrandr command for my setting.
