You're a real ass. Ask the questions and wait. It's possible nobody knows the
answer. Or, more likely, they know what a flake you are and refuse to help.
You don't mention what make/model laptop is being used, therefore it's not
possible to give a decent answer. Ask a decent question (without being such an
ass) and maybe then you'll get a decent answer.
When using external displays you're at the mercy of the driver software. There are
some situations where using the graphic chipset vendor's native driver may work
more effectively than the one provided by the laptop maker. But, again, you don't
mention what's being used so, again, no answer for you.
Are you using mirror/clone mode? Or are you extending the desktop? Most drivers
will only use clone mode at the highest resolution supported by both outputs.
Most TV outputs (s-video or composite) cannot support more than a 1024x768
display. There are /some/ than can support clone mode with one display being
panned, but not many.
Frankly, you deserve no support. Start being more polite and maybe things will
change. Until then, pound sand.

I answered no less than 60 quests here.
In exchange I got only 1 response ot my own quest., and none to the other SIMPLE
quest.
Simple for people who use the stuff I was askign about.
menus pop up ion left & right now instead of organized right or left side (menus
which expand to the either side of mouse cursor).
Also how to keep laptop's internal LCD resolutiuon while activating dual
external/internal or external display, because when it goes back to internal
only, ALL windows I opened on external display get distorted now - have to
restore their size/location due to resoltuion jump up & down.
This can be simply solved by keeping internal LCD never changed, just allow
external display to drop down to whatever resoltuion it wants to if Videocard is
unable to keep up with TWO displays at such high resoltuion equal to internal.
That would be fine.
Problem is internal refuses to stay at its native resoltuio whenever external
display is connected.
It goes back to native 1440x900 only after external is disabled, and now all over
again I have to restore every window size/location that was ever opened on
external display, because it "experienced" a different resoltuion as an open
window, now it opens in the same crippled size oin internal LCD.
Jesus, is there a solution?
One solution is obviously using an external display with same resolution and
Videocard capable of dual output of the same high resoltuion as my laptop
internal LCD whiuch happens to be a CAD/Engineering workstation type of high-end
laptop that goes to 1440x900.
I know that. But I have to deal with current external LCD TV actually, not a
computer display.
Matter of fact it's probably irrelevant, it's more about nVidia Videocard in my
laptop refusing to keep laptop's own display at its normal resolution whenever
external is connected.
Is there a way to allow external to drop down as much as it wants to, but KEEP
internal at 1440x900??
