I have a Sony viao vgn sz240p laptop that I sometimes use with a docking station. This laptop has Zorin 9 on it and it runs perfectly. I would like to add a second old micronpc.com 900Mx monitor to take advantage of the larger screen size. When I plug in the monitor to the docking station its screen goes blank. Is there a setting change that I can use to detect the second monitor?

Menu | System Tools | System Settings - 'Screen Display' then press 'Detect Displays' button - have you also checkd the Fn+ combination keys - Fn is usually a different colour to the rest of the keyboard with a monitor like display on something like the F5 button?

Yes, I have tried clicking on the Detect Display. Nothing happens. I checked into the Fn key combination and found that Fn+F7 should switch monitors. Again, nothing happened. Please help if you can. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Any other suggestions? It seems to me that I should be able to resolve this issue.

Swarfendor,
Thanks for trying. Unfortunately, it did not work.
