Linux & G500/poulsbo

Dell Mini 10 is a Linux-nightmare, but this page is quite helpful:

And Modeline needs to be added:

This is also useful:

Finally I modified /etc/X11/corg.conf the following way, to run stable and support my external screen with 1400x900 resolution:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    SubSection "Display"
        Virtual 2464 900
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
    Option "DRI" "off"
    Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
EndSection
