    Can you describe your setup a little better? Are you trying to configure a two monitor setup (if so, cloned or extended desktop) or do you just want to output to the monitor? What connection are you using?

    If you're trying to clone the display, both must be using the same resolution, which would be limited by the m11x. If not, what have you tried so far?
