Yes, I can see many levels for different resolution, there is a drop down list. But all of them are under 1024x768 (800x600, 640x480), smaller than my laptop 1280x800. Only parts of my laptop screen are shown on the second screen.
I didn't see any options that let me to set second screen resolution manually to be same as my laptop screen, so that the whole screen can be displayed. Thanks.
