PCLOS plug-and-plays with an external monitor - can we have this with LL ?

They use MATE and KDE so either that's the difference, or they are using newer or patched packages, or newer kernel. You'd have to ask them how they achieve this.

Thanks Jerry.  When they finally accept my request for membership I'll be able to ask them how they achieved this (application for membership of the
PCLOS forum is via e-mail) - not a straightforward as with LL membership!

I'm using the KFCE version of PCLOS (produced by the PCLOS community & officially supported with updates by their repository),
not the MATE or KDE versions.  The kernel on the KFCE version I'm using is 4.6.

Following on from the above, I did enquire at the PCLOS forum - they said it was excellent hardware compatibility combined with a more up-to-date kernel, though seemed to be keeping schtum about giving away any further details which is a bit of a shame ...
