When using my laptop at home, I usually use an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse with my laptop's screen as a second monitor. This is all easily configured using a nice GNOME utility that I assumes uses xrandr on the backend.
Sometimes I enjoy using my computer via a TTY. I would like to be able to switch over to TTY1(using ctrl+alt+f1) and have the tty appear on my external monitor at the resolution of my external monitor. Rather, it usually either appears on just my laptop screen, or on both monitors but at the resolution of my laptop's screen.
Is there anyway to do this seamlessly on Ubuntu 10.10?
(I'm guessing it doesn't matter, but I've set it such that screen launches automatically from ~/.profile
).
