I have a laptop, with a VGA interface.
I connected a extra display to my laptop, but it shows nothing, the state of it is "NO SIGNAL".
I wander how to config to use the two displaies, one of my laptop, one extra.

On a laptop the display is normally controlled by the "function key" on
the laptop or "fn" key + F key "that will have a monitor image on the F
key".

...or you can use the xrandr utility, that allows more flexibility.
There's also a gui : grandr.

If "fn" key + F key works for you, well and good. If not please
post the output of the command 'xrandr' with the extra display
connected. After a reboot is probably best.

Could that utilities make such the output of one open virtual display
streams to one monitor and the output of another - to another one?
