Configure external monitor to be --left-of laptop screen (nouveau)

Hi,
I have problem configuring external monitor to work like nvidia's 'twinView'.
Having no xorg.conf my external monitor is configured just to clone image displayed on latop screen. I can setup correct resolution in my DE (I'm using XFCE), but what confuses me is how to configure external monitor to work as separate screen (not to present cloned image).
This my my output from xrandr:
[kuba@t61:~]$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3120 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS-1 connected 1440x900+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm

1152x864 75.00
1024x768 75.08 60.00
800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 60.00
720x400 70.08
DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Following wiki instructions (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Randr12/) this commad helps me to setup what I want:
xrandr --output VGA-1 --left-of LVDS-1
and I want to persist such configuration.
I tried to configure it in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf (there was no such file)
[kuba@t61:~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

But it seems like still there is something wrong as every time I run X I have cloned output on both screens.
Any ideas?

Should that not be "left-of"?

  • External monitor works only works when laptop screen displays

    Hi there, I just connected a different (newer, but not brand new) external monitor to my T61.  When I toggle screens (fn-f7) the external display gets no signal in the 'external display only' position, but displays beautifully in the 'both' position.  This never happened with my old monitor.  I would like to use the external display and not have the laptop screen display.  Any ideas? Many thanks, Ellen

    Try this:
    After connecting external monitor, press win key+p and thrn choose projector only.

  • Working on an external monitor as well as the macbook screen

    Hello,
    When working on an external monitor as well as the macbook screen is there anyway you can have the top bar (with file, edit ect) on the second monitor also?
    Im using a macbook with mountain lion if that helps.
    Many thanks,
    Chris

    Yes.
    System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement Tab
    Then one of the monitors should be displaying this screen:
    You can put your cursor on that white bar (shown on the blue box to the left) and drag it over to the right if that is where you want the menu bar.
    I have mine set up here with my external monitor to the left and the MBPro to the right with my Menu Bar on my external screen as shown by the white bar being on top of the left blue square above.
    Hope this helps.
    Update:
    I misread your question I believe.
    If you want the menu bar to be on BOTH screens at the same time you need to have Mirror Displays checked so that the same image is on both screens. That is the only way.

  • External monitor for macbook pro with dead screen

    Macbook pro built in 2007 has a dead screen but is otherwise ok. Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs. How can I get the monitor to display my desktop if I can't see the macbook screen?

    Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs.
    Then it is working as designed.
    By default, the external screen is combined with the built-in screen into an Extended Desktop, as seen in the Arrange tab below. You need to (Gather Windows) to get all controls on all displays, then drag the tiny white MenuBar to the display where you want it to appear. Then things will begin to operate as you expect.

  • External monitor no signal until log-on screen

    Hi
    After my 2012 Macbook Pro's LCD became damaged, I had to connect an external monitor via HDMI.
    The problem is there is no display signal before the Mac/Win7 login screen. My guess is the MBP sends signal to the native LCD and only after Mac/Win7 boots up it loads up drivers and recognizes the external HDMI monitor.
    This essentially prevents me from re-installing Win7 because I can't see anything during the reboot and install process.
    I connected to many monitors and HDMI TVs in the store and results are the same. I'm on 10.8.5
    Thanks         

    Yes.
    Apple restricts access to all system settings for Base system boot.
    Not really.
    They also restrict installing Windows from the Built In DVD drive on Mac computer that come with built in DVD drive. But yet allow the system to boot to an OS X installer on a USB thumb drive or externally connected DVD drive even when the system has a built in DVD drive.
    Apple's way or no way.

    Then, is this an issue people put up with?
    I searched online and PC users have similar issue. But they can go into BIOS and set the display output to 'external'.
    I hoped Macs were more sophisticated

  • Can I attach multiple external monitors to my Pavillion dv7 laptop?

    I have one monitor connected through the HDMI interface and I would like to have another one attached as well. Can I use the VGA port (or the other flat one -- I do not kjnow what it is called) and have the monitors work in concert?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jerry:
    Theoretically you should be able to connect as many monitors as you have video out ports.
    Since I don't have your model, I can only speculate.
    I know that this is true of desktop PC's (where the onboard video is not disabled by an add on card).
    I believe the other HDMI-looking port is a display port.

  • Connect laptop to a external monitor with laptop screen off

    I need to connect my laptop to an external monitor but i need my laptop screen off.
    Is it possible? I use an hdmi or vga connection, gnome as DE and ati 5700 graphic card

    mm...
    try on a terminal "xrandr"
    first type xrandr to know the name of the two displays... then
    xrandr --output laptopdisplayname --off --output monitorname --preferred
    That will turn of the laptop display and turn on the monitor....
    But I don't know if that command runs on gnome..  if it runs try to download "arandr" gui app of xrandr from yaourt

  • Dual external monitor setup?

    I'd like to use dual external monitors, ideally also plus the laptop screen for a total of 3 monitors, with my new 5th gen 17" MBP. I hear that USB-to-DVI options out there due have very poor poor refresh rates and picture quality. I'd like to use the ViDock2 expresscard/34 setup, which is a full fledged external video card, http://www.villagetronic.com/vidock2/index.html, but I understand it only works with MBP gens 1-4. Anybody know any other multi-monitor solutions that work with gen 5, other than poor quality USB options? Anybody know why the ViDock2 doesn't work with the MBP 5th gen?

    Check out the Matrox dual head and triple head units, marc.

    My suspicion is that you will need the more expensive "DP" versions to operate effectively with the new model.

  • External monitor on standby not recognised properly

    I've MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2011) and I've attached an external monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM using Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter cable.
    After starting up my mac and the external monitor is on standby (not switched off), both screens go blank (meaning no Dock and no top menu bar can be seen nor activated). You can only see their respective background colors (in my case the grey color on the external monitor and and blue screen on the Laptop) and nothing else. There is no other possibilty to switch off the mac while pressing long enough on the laptop's power botton.
    After restarting the mac  and the external monitor is switched off, the laptop screen is fully accessible (meaning the Dock and the top menu bar are there and functional). When turning on the external monitor, then all the mac recognises both screens and you can operate normally on both screens.
    Before updating to Mountain Lion I had no problem with the external monitor being on standby.
    Anyone having similar experinces?

    I have a similar situation and I found out that I am using two external dispalys, one through the thunderbolt and the other through display link diamond external usb display. When I upgraded to Mountain Lion, it suggested that the driver is incompatible and I downloaded a new driver from Display Link website and that started correpting everthing on my mac book pro (early 2011).
    The Finder window does not start and started crashing with a log. Same thing with system preferences and a lot other apps such as iPhoto. I did a clean install and put the driver back on and again it started doing that. I did a clean install again and this time trying it since yesterday and it works alright with out the Display Link driver.
    I still had an issue with my the remaining Samsung SyncMaster B2430 display going on and off every few seconds. I could not find any solutions for this so far.
    I believe, I did a mistake by taking up on Mountain Lion without waiting for it have it's issues resolved.

  • How to blank laptop screen when using external monitor/

    Hi there
    I need some help with figuring out how to configure my xorg.conf for my Arch Linux 64 bit installation on a HP Pavilion dv 5000 laptop so that I can automatically blank my laptop screen when using an external monitor.  I have Arch Linux installed along with Ubuntu Feisty.  In Ubuntu my external monitor (Viewsonic 1912WB) was not detected at the time of installation but with the native 1280X800 resolution that is good for the laptop takes effect for the external monitor automatically when the external monitor is plugged in.  The laptop monitor goes blank when the external monitor is plugged in.
    In my Arch Linux installation I have not been able to configure a dual head configuration using the ATI Radeon drivers (fglrx).  I have the native 1280X800 resolution set up for the laptop monitor and this resolution takes effect for the external monitor also.  However the laptop monitor also continues to function when the external monitor is plugged in.  I would like to blank the laptop monitor when using the external monitor.
    I am attaching my Arch Linux xorg.conf and the Ubuntu xorg.conf below.  Thanks for anyone who can help, I am having a lot of difficulty in figuring out how to set up xorg.conf among all the things that I have had to learn so far in Linux and I am a relative newcomer to the whole thing. I have tried to compare the two xorg.conf files and edit my Arch xorg.conf in accordance with the Ubuntu one but it did not work and I keep getting errors!
    I am using XFCE as my Desktop environment.

    Xrandr 1.2 provides means for this. But today the only supported configuration is xorg-server-1.3 + xf86-video-intel-2.0. So for Radeon you'll have to wait for drivers that support Randr 1.2.
    On my laptop (Thinkpad x60s) that would be:
    xrandr --output VGA --auto
    xrandr --output LVDS --off

  • How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop does not have a docking station.  What do I need to get  to use two external monitors? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming.  HP makes no true docking station for your laptop. 

  • How do I make the DVD player play full screen in my external monitor instead of my laptop?

    I just upgraded to Lion, and I have my laptop screen and my external monitor, and every time I tell my computer to play a DVD in full screen, it makes the full screen slide over from my giant external montior to my tiny laptop screen. How do I make it not do this? I would like to be able to watch my DVDs on the larger high-res monitor instead of my tiny laptop screen, but I can't seem to find the right preferences window or something.

    With DVD player open, have you check the menu bar > Window > Show/Hide Controller?

  • I was trying to extent monitor, I get black screen on laptop and external monitor :/

    so I have this hdmi cable that plugs into the DVI on my external monitor.
    I did get the screen to show up just on the external monitor and that's it.  Now, when I boot up my lap top I get black screen on both monitors.  Uh oh.
    I've unpugged the  monitor, batter, all that stuff.
    I think it's possible I clicked on don't display external monitor or something, but not it's not displaying anywhere.
    I have an idea pad of some sorts w/ windows 8.  I don't think it's 8.1
    thanks
    -Hayes

    so I got this resolved.  the guy at the computer store hit f10 and then enter.  he did this while the screen was black
    shouldnt' it just detect that there's not an external monitor?  but even when there was a monitor connected, both screens were black.

  • Screen flicker on external monitor

    Has anyone had any experience with screen flicker on an external monitor?  I connected my laptop to an external monitor and I get consistent flicker on the whole screen.  If anyone can help, or could help pointing me to website etc. I'd appreciate it.

    Good suggestions guys I'll put out some more information.  The cable is ok (good thought to check for it).  I plugged my vga cable to my tv and do not get the screen flicker.  Also I'm using the ati driver which possibly has the same problem as the intel, one.  I configured my xorg.conf as describe in the wiki xrandr page:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xra … _xorg.conf
    One thing that I noticed that is a bit odd is the xrandr reports the display rate as 60.1.  I've never seen this before so right now I'm thinking that it has to do with that.
    xrandr
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 1440
    VGA-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 410mm x 257mm
    1440x900 60.1 + 75.0*
    1400x1050 74.9 60.0
    Still up the river so any more suggestions would be definitely appreciated.
