TIP: Using a Beamer with Laptop Computers
To connect a beamer to a laptop computer, activate dual head mode. In this
case, SaX2 configures the external output with a resolution of 1024x768 and
a refresh rate of 60 Hz. These values suit most beamers very well.
Multihead
If you have more than one graphics card installed in your computer, you can connect
more than one screen to your system. Two or more screens that are attached to different
graphics cards are referred to as multihead. SaX2 automatically detects multiple
graphics cards in the system and prepares the configuration accordingly. By default,
SaX2 configures a standard layout that follows the sequence of the detected graphics
cards, arranging all screens in a row from left to right. The additional Arrangement tab
allows for changing this layout manually. Drag the icons representing the individual
screens in the grid and click OK to close the dialog.
Testing the Configuration
Click OK in the main window after completing the configuration of your monitor and
your graphics card, then test your settings. This ensures that your configuration is suitable
for your devices. If the image is not steady, terminate the test immediately by pressing
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and reduce the refresh rate or the resolution and color depth.
NOTE
Regardless of whether you run a test, all modifications are only activated when
you restart the X server.
8.15.2 Mouse Properties
Adjust the settings for your mouse in Mouse Properties. If you have more than one
mouse with different drivers installed, each driver is shown in a separate tab. Multiple
devices operated by the same driver are shown as one mouse. Activate or deactivate
the currently selected mouse with the check box at the top of the dialog. Below the
check box, see the current settings for that mouse. Normally, the mouse is detected
automatically, but you can change it manually if the automatic detection fails. Refer to
