[edit] Xorg

[edit] Synaptics

Default configuration which open way to change settings for example by ksynaptics.

File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
Section "InputDevice"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Identifier  "TouchPad"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

An another functional configuration is for example :

File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf 
Section "InputDevice"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Identifier  "TouchPad"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"

        Option "RightEdge" "5400"
        Option "TopEdge" "1400"
        Option "BottomEdge" "4500"
        Option "FingerLow" "25"
        Option "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
        Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
        Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"

[edit] Dualhead/Xinerama

For Xinerama is important to use this : 

 Virtual    2720 1924

which means LFP resolution and VGA resolution : 

 1440x900 + 1280x1024

[edit] xrandr 1.2

After connecting another monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 940B) you can see this

Code: # xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2720 x 1024, maximum 2720 x 1924
VGA connected 1280x1024+1440+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024      60.0*+   59.9
   1280x960       59.9
   1152x864       75.0     74.8
   1024x768       70.1     60.0
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   640x480        75.0     72.8     66.7     60.0
   720x400        70.1
LVDS connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 304mm x 190mm
   1440x900       60.0*+
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right)

To connect an another monitor just type

Code: 
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --right-of LVDS
Warning: LVDS AS FIRST SCREEN: The big problem is still with use LVDS as main screen and VGA as additional.
