Test with »xrandr« why your video card doesn't support mirroring and look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log which driver is loaded. Install the appropriate if not already there.
Gnome also had problems with the Belkin kvm, so it may be something
about how Belkin resonds to display queries.
But under Fedora 21, Xfce just lowered the resolution of the laptop to
match the resolution of the monitor and mirrored. I did not, initally
have to set the laptop resolution. With this new Fedora 22 install (and
newer version of Xfce?), it will not mirror.
What is xrandr and how do I test with it.
I THINK this Lenovo x120e is an nvidia video.
