Asus Netbook + Lubuntu = No external screen?

[ericplana]

Hello.

I,m from Barcelona and also new at this forum.

I have an Asus Netbook Eee PC 1015PX running under Lubuntu 12.04.

All is working fine and I,m very happy to have been changed to Linux.

But today I was trying to conect the Netbook to and external screen using the side RGB conector and no signal at all.

Pressing [Fn]+[F8] doesn't works and no idea how to send the screen signal to an externel screen.

Any help or recomendation?

Thanks

Fantastic !!!

It was so simple to solve. Just install ARandR controller and play with it.
It makes very easy the configuration of the 2 screens. External Screen and Laptop screen.

You can use the 2 at the same time, just the external and turn off the laptop screen, use the same desktop on the 2 screens or make and extension...etc.
All is on your hands.

sudo apt-get install arandr

After installing, go to "Preferences Menu" and then ARandR.
