[MLUG] Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] RE: dual head & toshiba hot keys

[George Robb <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hi Jim-

Welcome to the list!   What kind of video card are you running?   (at  
command prompt try:  lspci)

Hot keys may be a bit more involved (a kernel re-compile possibly).    
Do you know what sort of chipset your Tosh has?

Hope we can help,

George
