Re: [LUG] laptop double screen

[Max Siegieda <maxsiegieda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're incredibly lucky the people who made your laptop will have just used an internal VGA connection, however the chances are they used some proprietary connection and a controller on the other end in which case it's nigh impossible to use it. Either way it'd take an incredibly long time to get a working set up so I recommend just binning it or replacing whatever broke and using the various networked monitor programs around to add it to your laptop across a network.
