_Automatic_ External Display Clone - Is It Possible?

idata — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 23:09:08 GMT

I have an Atom processor with the Intel GMA 3150 graphics chipset.

The primary display is the onboard LCD screen, but I sometimes connect an external VGA display as well.

When I connect an external VGA display, I have to _manually_ set the graphics properties to either twin or clone the onboard LCD screen to the external monitor.

Is there any way to AUTOMATICALLY have the external display twin or clone the onboard display if one is connected? It would be so much more convenient!

If not, can this feature be added to future GMA 3150 display drivers?

Thanks!

It is possible. Have you installed Intel graphics driver?

I downloaded and installed the latest GMA3150 drivers, but the result is the same.

- plug in external monitor

- set display to twin or clone

- external monitor works

- disconnect external monitor

- reboot

- re-connect external monitor

- nothing shows up on the external monitor

I want the driver to automatically display (twin/clone) on the external monitor whenever it is connected!

How can I do that?

Still no solutions?

Can this feature be added to the GMA3150 driver?
