I have tried to use the Monitor tool, but it show only half screen whenever I set either monitor to the left/right of each other. But when I set one below the other one, it work. Wierd...

Hi guys
I need to bump this topic as this issue just came up for me. MSI Wind U100 (VGA: Intel 945GME) with built-in 10" 1024x600 screen and an external LG doing 1440x900. If I plug the LG and set it to dual monitor mode, the LG will only have the bottom half of the screen. (Suspicion: the bottom 600 pixels of it.) This is regardless to the position of the MSI: that screen can be left, right, over, under the external one.
One more interesting thing: the top panel displays on both monitors, and also the cursor is working on the external monitor as well, even in the part that is blacked out.
Is there anything I can do/fix myself to make this work?
Thanks
