I'm using Mandriva 2007 Powerpack Plus -- how can I extend my desktop from my laptop to an external Sony Generic Flat Panel, so on the laptop I can be running a terminal session and on the other monitor be runnng firefox for example and move my mouse between the two desktops, like I did when I chose to extend my desktop on Windows XP Professional SP2......
