Under the standard Xandros Linux installed on the Eee, the single desktop is mirrored, although the native resolution of the external monitor can be fully utilised (if the external display’s resolution is higher than the Eee’s panel, the Eee’s display switches to a “pan and scan”-style display). Under Windows XP or a replacement Linux installation, the desktop may be extended or mirrored.
