I have a Lenovo T510 laptop -- wide and short display. When I chose a tri-focal readable font size it displays to few lines. I purchased a use 17 inch VGA display. The MATE built in "help" is not detailed enough. I suspect the authors thought the configuration screen was intuitive. It's *NOT*. My web searches have turned up posts about external hardware I don't have.
I need basic instructions *WITH PICTURES*. I want a full screen display on the laptop. I want a blow-up of a portion of the display on the external display. I know it's physically possible because I'm staring at it. BUT can not predict what is displayed on external display. Help please.
