	I have the exact same configuration as above and the settings work great. The only issue is that if I try to enable Desktop Effects on Ubuntu, I end up with blank white screens for new windows (for example, opening up a terminal just opens up a white box). I also lose my minimize/maximize buttons. This can be fixed by changing the DefaultDepth to 24, but then I go back to my original problem of slow performance. Does anybody know how to solve the issue with the blank screens without having to increse the depth setting?		I have the exact same configuration as above and the settings work great.

 == Only use external display ==
 I can't figure out how to configure X.org to ''only'' use the external VGA display. Xinerama works fine, but I don't want both displays enabled. Also, it turns off both when I close the lid. Anyone figure this stuff out? [[User:Kkinder|Kkinder]] 21:57, 24 August 2006 (CEST)

		+	Using a Thinkpad T30 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, the recommended xorg.conf file gives me an average of 250 FPS with glxgears on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). The following xorg.conf setup gives me about 1200 FPS. The major trade-off is a reduced default depth of 16.

−	I have a T40 with replicator. Everything works fine except , whenever I try to play a movie, instead of the video black area on the screen is displayed. External monitor is connected through VGA port on replicator. This is definitely an issue with linux, and can anyone help me configure xorg.conf? I don't have Xinerama setup I only need to have video on external monitor played correctly. I'm running Debiann Etch.[[User:Flamy\|Flamy]] 07:57, 24 December 2006 (CET)
