5-screen (multi-monitor) nVidia xorg.conf -- my setup

Hi. I would like to share my xorg.conf, since it took forever to get right.
There isn't a lot of information out there for folks using > 2 monitors, or several graphics cards, or esoteric setups including rotation etc. I hope this will be useful; I wouldn't mind contributing to the wiki if anybody thinks it might be useful.
So first up: hardware. I have
nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti connected to a 24" monitor (in the middle)
nVidia GeForce 210 connected to two 19" monitors, rotated into portrait (on either side of the 24")
nVidia GeForce GT 440 connected to two 15" monitors (above the 24")
here is a picture of the monitors, click for a bigger version
Drivers: I'm using the official nVidia drivers, I couldn't get nouveau to work. Since I am using Xinerama, the XRandR extension isn't loaded -- therefore my setup won't be suitable for people whose screen configuration changes dynamically. But I'd prefer not to use Xinerama, and even to use nouveau if possible; if anybody has a similar configuration working with nouveau, please share
Finally, the actual config itself. Here it is on pastebin.
Rotation
The correct way to rotate monitors in xorg.conf is through the metamodes option of the Screen section. On my Screen 2 and 4 (the two 19" monitors), you can see that
{ Rotation = left }
has been added at the end of the metamodes option. Contrary to some other guides floating around, it is not necessary to specify these options:
# Unnecessary
Option "RandRRotate" "on"
Option "Rotate" "right"
I believe these come from an earlier version of Xorg. They don't have any effect when I put them in my xorg.conf, using Xorg 1.12.4 and nVidia 304.43.
Even when I specified rotate in metamodes, my monitors didn't appear to rotate because I had originally written
Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
instead of
Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
This just made rotation fail silently, with no error message. Make sure to specify DFP if you're using a digital output (DVI, HDMI, DP) and CRT only if you're using a VGA output on your graphics board.
Tips
When you're testing out a new Xorg.conf, you can use
startx -- :1
to start a new X server without killing the current one. See if your configuration works, then switch back to your original X server by pressing Cmd-Alt-F7.
You should also keep a log of different configurations you have tried. You can use a version control system like git to track changes to your Xorg.conf; make sure you document every change you have made, and why, it can prove invaluable later on.
Feel free to ask about this setup. I would like to know something: what is the function of the Screen option in the Device section? On the four Device entries for my nVidia 210 and 440 cards, there is an option called Screen; when I take it out, the setup breaks. Why are they there? And why do they not map to the screen numbers in the Screen section? (They are numbered 0, 0, 1, 1 rather than 1, 2, 3, 4)

Thank you for the reply. I read the wiki page, but unfortunately I am still struggling with my two nvidia gpu, three monitor setup.
The red arrows show the pointer progression through the monitors (moving mouse left to right). When the cursor is on the top monitor, it becomes an X, and the screen is black.
Here is the matching xorg.conf

Based on this post on archlinux, I took a crack at matching the xorg.conf pattern above (monitor/device/screen sections) with my own. I took it as a victory that it actually didn't error (many xorg.conf experiments have in the last couple of days have). Here is my new xorg.conf with 3 screens/3 monitors/3 devices:

This what appears with the new xorg.conf:
"leftAcer" and "rightAcer" appear, but nothing appears on "topAcer" (it appears not to be getting a signal from the gpu). I can move the mouse pointer between "leftAcer" and "rightAcer".
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few details about the hardware setup:
GeForce 9600 GT is in the PCI:1 slot. It's DVI out is going to "acerLeft", it's VGA out is going to "acerRight".
GeForce GT 610 is in PCI:2 slot. It's VGA out is going to "acerTop".
thanks!

  • Dual Monitors without Xorg.conf Help

    I have an Acer Aspire One and Im trying to setup Dual Displays. Every guide Ive found, including the Acer One Article in the Wiki talks about editing the Xorg.conf file, yet my system seems to be running without one. Other than problems setting up the dual displays I dont have any issues with Display Settings so it seems my installation of arch linux seems to be using some other technology other than Xorg. Does any one know how the Display settings are setup without the use of the Xorg.conf file ? This is a fresh Arch Linux Base Install using only OpenBox.
    Ive also tried using XRandR to setup my dual displays but I keep getting an error and google doesnt provide an answer.
    I try and run the following command ( wich works fine on my other PC )
                    [zero@zero ~]$ xrandr --auto --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --right-of VGA1
    And get the following error
                     X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
                     Major opcode of failed request:  149 (RANDR)
                     Minor opcode of failed request:  7 (RRSetScreenSize)
                     Serial number of failed request:  24
                     Current serial number in output stream:  25
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    WooHoo !
    awkwood   -  You Rock ! I feel like an idiot for not paying closer attention to your first post. I finally realized what you were saying and figured out how to do the downgrade.
    If it's 2.12.0 I'd suggest trying 2.11.0 instead.
    The most recent update borked my dual display with a similar error message but 2.11 works fine.
    I don't use an xorg.conf.
    So essentially this seems to be a bug with version 2.12 of the xf86-video-intel driver. I downgraded to ver 2.11 and everything works perfectly. I am running dual monitors at full resolution with no fuss. So again awkwood I thank you !
    For other Arch Newbies who have this issue in the mean time until they fix the bug, this is how I did the downgrade.
    Step 1:
    download the 2.11 package from the link below
    http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/i686/x … pkg.tar.xz
    Step 2:
    Open a terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the file
    $ cd /home/$USERNAME/Downloads
    Step 3:
    Use pacman to install the package
    sudo pacman -U xf86-video-intel-2.11.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
    Finally reboot. When you log back in everything should work fine
    Again thanks to awkwood as well as karol, blind, Inxsible and everyone else for their help. Everyone here is so helpful, I am defiantly an Arch user for life. Hopefully they will fix the bug in the next version of the driver. My next step is to see about filling a bug report.

  • A single screen resolution in xorg.conf, YET X11 still startups wrong

    Hi. There's something that has been bugging me for a while. When I boot the first time my thinkpad SL500, usually (95% of the cases) X sets the resolution to 1024x768. Yet the ONLY screen res available in xorg.conf is 1280 x 800. In order to get to 1280x 800 I init 4 && init 5 every time. Why is this and how to fix it?

    As you can see, there's also a problem with the keyboard. How to get it working? Currently the keyboard layout is set via my DM.
    Thanks.

    As I understand it your xorg.conf file needs fixing: you have 3 modelines:
    Modeline "1280x800@60" 83.91 1280 1312 1624 1656 800 816 824 841
    Modeline "1280x800" 104.35 1280 1360 1496 1712 800 801 804 835
    Modeline "1280x800" 88.68 1280 1352 1488 1696 800 801 804 830
    in the Monitor section. Two of them have the same name, and in the in the Display section you are referring to a fourth mode "1280x800_60.00" that is never defined before.
    Instead find out the correct mode from you monitor specs, then compute its modeline via cvt, then put that modeline into the Monitor section and refer to it in the display section.

  • Howto change DPI, without xorg.conf if possible?

    So, once and for all I'd like to have DPI issue solved
    I want to have DPI set to 96. At this size fonts and everything seems at normal size, I don't want to argue about that...
    Practically,
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 121x121 dots per inch
    I want it to be:
    $ xrandr --dpi 96
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
    I have intel 965M chipset, using the intel driver:
    xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-3
    xorg-server 1.6.1-1
    So, when I run xrandr manually, it gets fixed to 96x96 but how to do it automatically?
    I think I tried all of the common methods that are advised to this problem, like adding
    Xft.dpi: 96
    into ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources.
    I also changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc into
    exec /usr/bin/X -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp
    but no result.
    I remember that DisplaySize option in section monitor in xorg.conf used to work but now doesn't. (Not sure however whent it stopped working and if it was also intel driver). I even put
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    into Section Screen...
    I would prefer if this could be done without using xorg.conf cause now I only have Option "DontZap" "false" there.
    I use kdm, if that matters.. but the dpi is wrong in all DEs.

    Okay, both of the recommended settings work.
    First:
    caskale13c wrote:Find the ServerArgsLocal value in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and add -dpi 96 (or 146) to it.  It will be located in the [X-:*-Core] section.
    Second:
    add
    xrandr --dpi 96
    into /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
    For making it work also with an external monitor I had to add
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    Virtual 1920 1080
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    into xorg.conf. This wasn't needed before.
    Anyway, now it all works fine
    Thank you, guys.

  • Xorg.conf - Multi Monitor Issue

    I have read that using nvidia-settings to configure X does not work very well. After trying it myself and being unable to get it to work proprly, I've tried my hand at writing my xorg.conf from scratch using the info on the wiki. I'm having issues and wonder if anyone could assist with telling me how i'm supposed to define the screen properly to SererLayout.
    I have two LCD monitors:
    Left is 1680x1050+0+150, "DFP-0"
    Right is 1600x1200+0+0, "CRT-1"
    I'm not sure if I should be using twin view or not but I do not need Xinerama. Can anyone please advise on how I should proceed?

    I cannot seem to get this working with nvidia properly set within xorg.conf... funny thing is I can run the xrandr script upon login and it resets my screens perfectly, though it feels like i'm cheating this way.
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x150 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off
    Sometimes your window manager can do this for you.  Or a utility such as arandr.  Nothing wrong with this method.  You could shorten it to
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --output DVI-I-1 --auto --right-of/--left-of <whichever>
    Under the Monitor section you would try:
    Name the monitors the way X calls them (here DFP-0 and CRT-1) or check the Xorg.0.log file to show what it does with them. 
    Then under one of the monitor sections, you could add
    Option "RightOf"/"LeftOf" "<other monitor>"

  • [SOLVED] Prev working xorg.conf won't work with new nvidia

    So I just upgraded to the latest nvidia driver.  Previously, my xfx 6600 and dell 2001fp could display 1600x1200 just fine, but now it's ratcheting X down to 1400x1050 (even though 1600x1200 is the only option I've specified in the xorg.conf).

    Ive tried everything i could think of or what arch wiki could. I came to aurch linux to learn more about linux (fedora holds your hand to much.) but i dont think i can figure this one out on my own.

    serverman,
    let me see if I understand your situation.
    You are using the nvidia drivers and want to setup a dual screen with independent screens (?).
    Without a xorg.conf one screen should work out of the box with one screen.
    For the proprietary drivers you will need a minimal xorg.conf:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "nvidia"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth 24
    EndSection
    This still has only one screen, but can you try it and tell what happens ?

  • NVidia-185.18.14, Quadro NVS & Multi-monitor

    For anyone who recently upgraded their drivers to 185.18.14, you may have this
    problem where your secondary monitor refuses to work anymore.
    This is especially so if :
    -  your graphics card is one of those Quadro types
    -  it has one of those special card-output (video-cable connectors) where one
       single DVI connector splits into two separate VGA ones.
    This might also affect laptops with a VGA port to output to a secondary screen.
    Long story short, put this in your [xorg.conf] file, under the Device section :
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
    So it'll look something like this :
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName "Quadro NVS 290"
    Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, CRT-1"
    EndSection
    That basically forces the card/driver/gremlins to detect your second monitor
    as a CRT, not a DFP (digital flat-panel). If you're connecting both screens via
    normal 15-pin VGA cables, they're both CRT connections, not a DFP.
    I sourced this from a Debian user's posting :
    http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-use … nview.html
    Hopefully, this will solve your problem as it did mine.
    eeg

    I get the same error after replacing my VGA-cable. Maybe the cable (without those 'noise-cancelling magnets' on it) is hindering the EDID-data to be correctly detected...
    Zl.

  • Can't properly set up xorg.conf or 10-monitor.conf

    Hi.
    I would like to ask for Your help. I need someone with greater knowledge over Arch than i have. I have problem with either xorg.conf or 10-monitor.conf. As a matter of fact, now xorg.conf is deprecated so more important is 10-monitor conf.
    I have nvidia GTX260 card with newest nvidia drivers. I have 2 DVI's on this card, for an exmaple: DVI-0 nad DVI-1. I would like to use them both using dvi-to-hdmi connector on each of them in order to use my 27 LCD monitor and 40 TV, both with hdmi cable plugged into dvi-hdmi connector and to my graphic card.
    I can't solve my problem. Don't know what to do in order to having both screen working. If my 27 inch LCD monitor is connected by DVI-DSUB connector, i have signal on screen. If i plug it by dvi-hdmi connector, than i have screen, singal, picture during boot, but GUI won't load, it stays on "running user interface" or something similar. It is because of my settings in 10-monitor.conf. Here is my setup of 10-monitor.conf

    As you can see, there are few section named monitor because Arch detects with nvidia drivers, that i have few screens attached, while i haven't. If i change monitor sections than i could have random switching off signal/screen, and either can have pictrure or don't at all, wither with good 19x12 resolution, or changed for a different, streched to right and i can't log in, and change it eithere.
    So, i would like to have what i discribed on top. Could somebody point me in good direction? I tried to generate xorg.conf using nvdia-xcofig, than i applied it to 10-monitor.conf but after reboot i got stuck at "running user interface" or gui, there was no KDE greeting login screen - in my opinion because 10-monitor.conf can't detect that screen is attached by dvi-hdmi connector (detect ok with dvi-dsub and my setting of 10-monitor.conf above). So what to do in order to Arch detects dvi-hdmi connector and detects that i have screen in order to being found and in order to log in into login screen?
    When i renamed 10-monitor.conf to 10-monitor.conf.bak and rebooted, i get past "running user interface" or logins screen, i have purple-blue kde greeting and could log in but resolution was stretched on right side and i have only "left side" of screen, so i didn't see login "propmt", or login window, and couldn't log in. Tried to kill x and resuming kdm.service but it won't work. Don't see login window on blue-purple loging screen.
    I would like to get past this, would like to use dvi-hdmi connector on my 27 LCD monitor, and being able to use the same dvi-hdmi connector for my 40 TV and use them both. Could somebody help me? What do change in 10-monitor.conf, what to add, what to remove? I'm using now only 27 LCD monitor trough dvi-dsub because i can log into login window because it is in the center of the screen, not stretched to righ on dvi-hdmi connector.
    It is not fault of the connectors, i tried on Windows and it Works. Want do have it on Arch because i dont use Windows very often.
    Help [:|]

    Heh, i found something so stupid about Arch that i can't believe it. In fact, i'm not able to change it.
    I had two screen connected to my new graphic card, i moved from GTX260 to GTX660. One flat panel, LG 27 inch, was connected troug one of the DVI (DVI-I-1) and 40 TV was connected trough second DVI (DVI-D-0). What i found? Well, as a matter of fact, this new graphic has booting sequence order regarding working outs during boot. On HDMI out and on DVI-I-1 when booting there is signal and screen. On DVI-D-0 during booting sequence there is no singal, singnal comes up at login prompt of Windows or Arch. Ok, can live with that.
    There is one that i can't. If i want to have working setup of my 27 + 40 flat panels, i have to have 27 connected trough hdmi out, 40 trough something other. I'm not able to have 27 connected to DVI-I-1 and 40 TV to DVI-D-0 because during booting sequence, when there is low resolution, i have screen and singal on 27 flat panel, but when there should come up kde welcome login screen, i don't have it. It stays at terminal, when i see info "sterting upser graphic mode". That's strange! The only way to have booting sequence on 27, and also singal/screen after booting sequence of 27 is to have connected 27 flat panel to hdmi out, not DVI-I-1! Why? Don't know but Arch doesen't want to work that way, no matter what i put in 10-monitor.conf. Tried the same on Windows, no matter which out is being used (hdmi or DVI-I-1), during booting sequence there is singal/screen/picture and after it i can normally log into Windows. In case of Arch, i can't.
    Don't know. I would show my 10-monitor.conf:

    I wan't to have both flat panels on DVI outs because i need hdmi for something other. Is there a way to solve it? Strange is that with provided resolution, vertical and horizontal frequencies, on hdmi out i can boot, i can log into Arch (while my other screen is being found, and also i see picture on login screen) but when i use both of DVI outs, i see booting sequences, and than Arch informs me that has started graphic user mode...but it stays at this black screen. What's more strange is that if i delete 10-monitor.conf, connect my 27 LCD to DVI-D-0, and TV to DVI-I-1, than i see booting on Toshiba 40 TV, don't see it on LG 27, after log in i can set proper resoluton for 27 LG, have both screen working, but if i save this settings in 10-monitor.conf, after reboot...the same thing, stays at message that Arch started graphical user mode.
    Don't know what's going on. Can somebody check my xorg? Point me? Maybe xinerama is at fault? I want my LG 27 to be cloned on 40 TV.
    In big shortcut: during boot on DVI-I-1 i have signal, can't log into gui mode, stays at mentioned screen with info that it started graphic user mode. What to do, or what to put into 10-monitor.conf?

  • Xorg.conf nVidia ION resolution

    Sorry for my English.
    I have this board: ASUS AT5IONT-I, Atom D525, ION2, PCI-E 4X, 2xDDR3 SODIMM, Gbit LAN,E-sata, USB3.0, DVI, HDMI, Fanless, Heatpipe, Mini-ITX.
    And, trying to make HTPC.
    I install Arch with openbox, but the problem is with video resolution.
    I use my 32PFL9606H Philips TV 32''.
    I set proper 1920x1080 resolution is xorg.conf but "xdpyinfo | grep dimensions" reports: "dimensions:    1280x800 pixels (338x211 millimeters)"
    here is my xorg.conf:

    PS: I deleted /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, but after reboot it is not recreated. Why? And remember that it said something like:

    [   185.106] (==) NVIDIA(0):     will be used as the requested mode.
    although I was set mode to 1920x1080

    Hi !
    Please don't use xorg.conf, edit the files inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead.
    I also have an ION board and have working HDMI connection with audio at 1920x1080 using the below configuration. Remove your xorg.conf and then edit these files:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

    Please note that the above Modeline works on my TV (a 22'' low cost brand one) but I cannot guarantee it will work on yours.
    Try that first, then if it doesn't work, try to generate one using the cvt command, and replace the Modeline:
    cvt 1920 1080
    it should output something like this:
    # 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
    Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
    If this method doesn't work either, try the method explained here (which is the one I've first used to find the right Modeline). Its tricky method, and requires a bit of work and lot of patience ... just don't give up
    Finally, a little bonus . To have working HDMI sound, I have to put these lines in /etc/asound.conf:
    /etc/asound.conf
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 3
    Again, you may need to change the device index in your case. You can list alsa devices using aplay -l command:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
    Subdevices: 2/2
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
    Subdevices: 0/1

  • Xorg.conf multiple monitors different refresh rates

    I have two monitors on my setup, with my primary montor being to the right of my secondary. They both have resolution 1920x1080. I'm trying to get my primary monitor to run at 120 Hz but it's only doing 60. My secondary monitor is a different model that can only do 60 Hz.

  • Xorg.conf - Acer 2016W screen

    Hello,
    yesterday I bought a new screen (acer 2016W) and I'd like to know how I should reconfigure my xorg.conf to be able to use its maximal resolution (1680*1050). I suppose I should add a line in the modelines but I don't know how.
    By the alsa suppose I should replace the "DPMS" option by "LCD" - Am I right?
    Thanks

    This is what I changed when adding an LCD widescreen. I also connect mine via DVI.
