I have that exact kind of eeepc, but when I plug it in, it doesn't work. How do you install it?

I saw this with an HDMI VGA and USB ports in the 90's. This is good documentation.

Sorry, I actually found out that the internal Xandros system cannot go higher than 1024×768 resolutions. This is not a graphical driver issue, but rather an OS one – the little dialog window that Eee Xandros has to switch resolutions doesn't actually detect the right ones but just uses some presets that are sure to work. I use Xubuntu, so it doesn't have that problem.

http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:external_monitor explains how to fix this. Any external monitor should work fine, but I use a Delium LE22C9 which works just fine.

Last, a nice tool to use for switching resolutions on either monitor correctly is lxrandr. Not sure how easy it is to get that application running on Xandros though.

Need help. I can't get the EEE to make the external monitor the primary. Both screens display OK and I can drag to the external but when I try to select" make no.2 the main it won't do it. Any ideas?

If you choose anything higher than 800 x 480, only a portion of your desktop will actually be displayed on your Eee PC.

hi DaVince, can you tell me the brand of the LCD screen you are using with your EEEPC and whether it is compatible with Xandros? I am looking for an LCD to connect to my EEEP so I can watch telly and dvd.

I have actually used the Eee PC as my primary computer for over a year now – and recently I got a big LCD screen to display things on. The thing can even output to 1680×1050, the screen's largest resolution, without any lag whatsoever!
