Notes:
1. My first attempt turned out the error “xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA”, the reason was I did not turn HDMI-1 off. I dunno how HDMI-1 exists on my laptop, but for sure i have to kick it off.
2. Awesome WM is awesome, and it default support dual screen.
3. My LCD is 22′ and 1680×1050
