ATI HD 5700 dual screen flicker

You will see this with boot camp Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, however when opening a windows media video a slight line/flicker appears then goes away 2 seconds later. I followed every clue and so far have eliminated video card, adapter, wire, and cables. If it is a driver issue both Apple and ATI have not seen it nor has there been a fix for it. 99.9% of Mac Pro users will not see this due to it only happening on a dual screen Windows setup. In OS X Lion it never appears. I truly believe it is software related because I have 2 VGA 19" square generic Acer monitors and when I set the settings to one screen, the problem never appears. Any more input will be appreciated.

The dual monitor setup although new is only VGA in. For some reason the Acer corp can only give
the answer not the reason but dual monitor with lets say 2 other monitors stops this from occuring
so even though these are beautiful screens they will not work properly with setup.
Thank You Acer

Dual Screen Flicker?

I have a new MacBook Pro with a new 20" studio Display attached. I like to run them side by side to give me more desktop space.
After about 1 hour after being connected and ON the MBpro monitor begins to flicker, ghost and go crazy. The external monitor being hooked up has been the only time it does this. I try disconnecting the montitor and plugging back in but it does it again. Only fix is to restart. Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong?
thanks

Actually, those temperatures are not that high. And it sounds like you are not creating thermal problems since you are allowing air to flow around the MBP. The only thing I would question, since I don't know how big an iTrip box is, maybe that could be acting as an insulator against an important part of the underneath side of the MBP.
A box with still air in it isn't going to be much aid to cooling. In fact, it makes a pretty darn good insulator. It would be better if you could figure out a way to hold the MBP up from it's corners near the area of the rubber feet. That would allow for more surface area of the bottom being exposed to air.

What options do I have if I want to set up a dual screen?

I have a Thinkpad T400 with a ATI Radeon HD3470 card. I am running the latest Arch x86_64 with Fluxbox and the 9.4 Catalyst drivers.
What is the easiest solution to set up a dual screen? Is there a way to do this without editing xorg.conf? Not that editing xorg.conf really is a big problem, but I will be moving around a bit and finding the correct settings for each screen would take some work. And I would like to see how far the dual screen development has come on GNU/Linux.
The way I see it the best way would be to have two screens with separate resolutions. Since LCD screens do not handle resolutions other then the native very well. So just stretching the screen makes the slave screen run the same height as the parent screen. Or am I wrong? It is not a problem running stretched if the screens run at the native resolution.
So, xrandr just gives me stretching. And the need of editing xorg.conf.
What about Twinview(just for nVidia) and Xinerama?
Is there other solutions?
SOLUTIONS:
There is arandr and lxrandr, both frontends to xrandr. Requires minimal xorg.conf editing. Only add a virtual line in the screen section. The virtual size does not have to be accurate, it only have to be bigger then the screens together. In my case, I have a 1440x900 primary screen and at most a 1280x1024 secondary screen. So my virtual size would be minimum 2720x1024. This is with the screens side by side. If the screens is one above the other it would be 1440x1924.
The exact size of the monitor is handled by xrandr(arandr or lxrandr). So, there will be no dead zone in the width(side by side solution), if the real height is different on the screen there will be a dead zone in height.
Using arandr or lxrandr means that you manually have to set this up each time the computer is restarted. To automate this, you can use xrandr. First do a
# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2464 x 900, maximum 2720 x 1024
LCD connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 190mm

400x300 75.0 60.7
320x240 75.6 60.0
320x200 75.5 60.1
to find out where the screens are connected. Mine are LCD and CRT1. Then test with
# xrandr --output CRT1 --right-of LCD
to see if you get a stretched desktop. If this works, just add the last line to your .xinitrc
This solution gives you stretching.

This works, and I get separate resolutions on the monitors. I tried using radeonhd but then the resolution on teh second monitor goes to some crappy values(which I figure are calculated proportionally to the 1280x800 one).

External monitor simply not working - including with external dock (dual screen)

I can't get the external monitor (aka dual screen) to work on my T60 via the VGA port. My model is currently running Windows XP and has a ATI Radeon X1300 video card.
I'm 6 months out of warantee (although this problem started while in warantee but I can't convince Lenovo of that).
I've tried the following:
- ensuring "extend my monitor onto this desktop" in windows display properties
- disabling/enabling Presentation Director and trying all the schemes
- setting all different combinations of modes for resolution/colour on both (LCD + VGA) monitor
- trying two different monitors and cables (which did work with other computers)
- Updating the video drivers (from the Lenovo website) and Presentation Director to the latest versions
I then figured it might be a hardware fault, so I tried to see if the external monitor was activated on bootup. I made sure the "LCD + VGA" option on boot was selected in BIOS. Still no joy.
Finally, I figured the actual VGA connector was broken so I bought a compatible mini docking station (port replicator) and attached the VGA cable to that and even that didn't work.
What on earth could be wrong if it's not the software and not the VGA connector? The video card is working as its powering the LCD display?
Is my only option to give it in to repair (I can't afford that)?

Hi,
Does the external connections and cables work with another system. I'd do that first.
If all of it works with another system then it could be drivers or internal things but try that first.
There are some driver updates on the Lenovo site. Make sure your BIOS are updated and such.
Good Luck,
Yup, checked the cables and monitor with another system (actually with the same laptop using a USB->VGA adaptor which isn't a long-term fix)
Also updated to all the latest driver including a BIOS update (which I forgot to mention).
thanks,

X crashes on startup with AMD dual screen setup

Ever since I bought my AMD Kaveri A10-7850K at the end of January last year I've been having trouble getting a dual screen setup to work properly. Initially I put this down to poor beta drivers, and as I had far too much going on to investigate the issue further beyond some fiddling with xorg.conf, I bought an AMD A4-4000 as a temporary solution while waiting for the Catalyst drivers to catch up.
In June last year I decided to give my A10-7850K another go, assuming that the Catalyst driver would have matured enough in the meantime to cater for the Kaveri processors. Unfortunately the situation was still the same, and I I didn't have the time nor want to be swapping processors all constantly to I decided to just give up on a dual monitor setup for the time being.
After many years of using two screens, however, it is very hard to get used to a single monitor again, and as January is a quiet month for me I decided today to have another at getting it to work properly.
My setup is as follows:
an LG LG 23EA63V connected via HDMI as my main monitor at 1920x1080
a Viewsonic VP-171b connected via DVI as my secondary monitor at 1280x1024
AMD A10-7850K APU
Catalyst 14.12-1 drivers installed from Vi0l0's repo
Xorg 1.15 installed from Vi0l0's repo
KDE 4.14.3 using kwin
KDM is launched using kdm.service
KMS disabled via nomodeset
fglrx module loaded on boot via cat /etc/modules-load.d/catalyst.conf
Tear free rendering enabled
After plugging in my secondary monitor configuring it in amdcccle to be to the right of my primary moniotor in multi-display desktop mode, everything works correctly. This even works in my preferred setup where the secondary monitor is rotated into portrait mode, although I currently have not configured rotation so as to not overcomplicate the troubleshooting.
Upon rebooting, however, X hangs with a static white cursor in the top left hand of both screens, which after a while disappears completely. I then have to unplug the secondary (DVI) monitor and hard reset the PC before I can boot into my desktop again. The bizarre thing is though that when I plug in my secondary monitor again and configure it as desired, either through amdcccle or krandr, everything works perfectly again.
This is, of course, an incredibly cumbersome way of working, especially when most of the time I forget to disconnect my DVI monitor prior to turning on my PC, hence me just making do with a single monitor for the past 7 months.
I did a complete fresh install of Catalyst yesterday (uninstall drivers, delete remaining config files, reinstall drivers from repo), to no avail.

I'm quite desperate to get this working, almost a year after buying my new setup, so any pointers are welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Actually of the above listed commands only xclock is in xorg-apps .
pacman -S xorg-apps xorg-twm xterm
is needed.

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.

Dual screens with x1600 mobility & open source driver

Hi, I've been trying to get a dual screen setup with two truly independent screens (not the one giant screen that xrandr gives you), but I've been having some issues. The hardware I'm attempting this on is my macbook pro 2.1 with a 1440x900 internal display and ati x1600 mobility, and a 1680x1050 apple cinema display connected with DVI. Here is the xorg.conf that I've come up with after a bit of tinkering.

Sorry the tabs are a little screwed up, but I think it's still easy enough to read. When I start the xserver using this file the external monitor appears to be functioning properly, but the internal display is black. Moving the mouse off to the right of the external display causes the cursor to appear on the internal display using the default X cursor theme. The mouse then remains trapped on the internal monitor. Other than displaying the cursor, the internal display seems to be non-functional.
If I comment out the Screen...1 line in the ServerLayout section I can get both monitors working with xrandr, but this causes other issues and is not what I want. Does anybody know how I could get two real screen going?
Thanks!

bump (I'm starting to think this VGA card just doesn't work with the driver )

Dual screen HP Pavillon P6-2427eb

Hi,
I have recenty bought a HP Pavillon P6-2427eb PC.
It has a seperate video card with a DVI + HDMI connection.
I want to use dual screen, but when I connect both screens it doesn't work.
The first screen is a fujutsi siemens screen wich is connected on the DVI connecter.
The second one is a HP 23" screen with Displayport connection (also has DVI + VGA) but I get no signal on it.
When I connect the DVI to the HP screen, this one works, but I can't get them both to work.
On the motherboard there are 2 DVI connectors, so I removed the seperate video card and connected both screens on DVI, they both work but duplicate the image.
When I look in the settings of my screens, and try to activated dual screen it says only one monitor is connected.
Any suggestions?

Hi JumJonckers, You have an ATI graphic card right? have you installed the latest ATI driver for your graphic card?
Please have a look on your graphic card multimonitor FAQ:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/MultimonitorFAQ.aspx
Also, here is a quick guide on how to dual monitors on ATI Catalyst(the graphic card driver):
http://www.ehow.com/how_6941499_set-multiple-monitors-ati-card.html
Thanks, Adi.

Dual screen problems after last updates

Hello everyone,
it was long time since our Arch gave me some problems, but then now I'm fighting furiously with dual screen configuration with new gnome. Let me explain.
I upgraded the home PC that I hadn't update for months, so I updated more or less everything ... kernel, nvidia drivers, gnome, etc..
The PC has always been dual screen (no twin view, without xinerama), two screens (one on a LCD monitor and one on a TV) where I could run separate applications independent.
Now, after the update, when I launch any application in the second screen (the TV) it starts on the first (screen).
Obviously I have't made any changes to xorg.conf before and after the upgrade. I also tried to recreate one with the nvidia-tools but nothing ...
Can you help me? Someone had the same problem?
I post my xorg.conf, I hope that someone has a hint. I can no longer watching movies on TV and it is very annoying!

Writing the post a tried to install fluxbox, and then... all ok. In fluxbox all works fine. I think this is a problem related to the new gnome screen configurer.
I post an image of gnome screen configurer vs nvidia-tools.
Googling around I found that new gnome screen configuration (using xrandr) is not compatible with nvidia drivers. Could be this the source of the problem?
Help please

Hi,
Does your Mac go to the sleep status when you close the cover? If so, the remote session can be terminated due to time out and the time out value may be redesigned in the latest versions.
Thanks.

Temporary Solution for screen flicker r9 280x

After performing various tests I've fixed the screen flickering on my msi r9 280x, I hope this can be useful for all here with the same problem and with different patterns of R9 family, that I have running on my pc and I have not had even the slightest flicker playing youtube videos where the problem became acute.
1 open the task manager and end the process Catalyst Control Center: Monitoring program and also the Catalyst Control Center: Host Application.
2 Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE right click on the Profiles file, in the end the general menu select Read only, accept.
3 Again right click and select edit, and file searches within these lines
<Feature name="CoreVoltageTarget_PCI_VEN_1002&DEV_6798&SUBSYS_27751462&REV_00_4&320ACFF0&0&0010A">
<Property name = "Want_0" value = "850" /> CHANGE THIS VALUE OF 850 FOR 900 only
<Property name = "Want_1" value = "1200" />
This value changes the low voltage in 2d (resting) 0.85va 0.90v
4 then go to the File menu, select Save As, in writing profiles.xml nombe save.
5 Again right click on the profiles file saved on the desktop and select read-only
6 Go back to Go to C: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE and remove the profiles file.
7 copy or cut and paste into C profiles saved file to your desktop: \ Users \ XXX \ AppData \ Local \ ATI \ ACE.
8 Finally go to task manager and then click on file to run new task, we write MOM.exe there and ready, restart the pc for security.
to ensure that its voltage is at 0.90v use GPUZ and check the end of the sensors tab.
note that if we use the application msi afterburner not enable Unofficial Overclocking mode option because in themselves to have it on and change the clocks video card testing restores the voltage 0.85V.
when I play some games I use msi afterburner like msi Gaming app since I have experienced that without the Gaming app clocks fall then at 300mhz after making this process voltage, I recommend you use to see, as an example in msi afterburner I apply the core clocks of vga 1100 and Gaming active app one of the two profiles, the Gaming mode or the mode Oc down and watches only parameters selecionados 1020 mhz or 1050 mhz vga respectively when accelerating up to 1100 mhz selected msi afterburner.
I hope this is useful that I share as many as we can not believe that to date no actions are taken to this problem taking into account the value of the video card. Maybe this and many what they knew, but there will be many who do not and those like me tried in many ways to carry it out and not succeeded because that's how I achieved step by step and fully functional, sorry if some way I can not explain to clearly as I do not speak English and I'm using a translator, and hopefully serve them again, I just do it to help them all and hopefully once and for all of the annoying screen flicker go ...

Perpetual Screen Flicker

I posted a question back in June about my monitors flickering on and off at sporadic intervals. I'm reposting, hoping a fresh set of eyes will see the question and help me out. Thank you.
Without warning, my monitors will take turns turning blue, then black, then coming back on again in a cycle that repeats for as long as 15 minutes. On the black screen, I get a small message that reads "no signal." Just before the monitors 'die' I lose control of my cursor. Any suggestions? Does the info below help? Thanks!

I have a new MacBook Pro 15 inch that I bought the first day they were available. I too have noticed screen flicker. It only occurs on the left side of the screen and is only noticeable at somewhat reduced brightness. I'm trying to decide whether to take it back to Apple for repair or replacement, or whether it should be considered within the working parameters of the screen, as it's not apparent at "normal" brightness, i.e., the brightness most people probably use most of the time. Has anyone consulted Apple about this and got a response?

Ok, dual screen for AIT but anything for nVidia?

so there is screen spanning doctor for ATI eMacs. but i have a 700mhz emac (with nvidia graphics card), I run logic pro on it and want to have a 2 screen setup, has any one seen a fix for them so i can use dual screens? (as in proper dual screens, not mirroring).
any help?
Thanks, Olly.

The eMac's nVidia graphics card physically does not support spanning across multiple monitors.

GTX 780TI GAMING 3G dual screen issue

Hi,
Been searching around but I don't seem to be able to hone in on the right search criteria to find anything.
I have the 780ti running dual screens. I have a nice new 144hz widescreen and I'm running an old Philips 75hz as general purpose screen next to it. I'm keeping hold of the old one at the minute as it works well with my gfs work laptop when she needs a full screen.
When I bring a game up and try and run it on the 144hz screen it tries to swap screen constantly. It flicks back and forwards across both screens at a rapid rate.
I had this working on my very old twin 4870s (you can tell how long I've been out of the game literally) but it occurred to me that I was running a screen off each card. So now I'm wondering if I can run two screens of one 780ti? If that's the case I'll just get another one which I plan to do in the future anyway. But after splashing out 2k on a new machine spending another 500 isn't going to make the gf happy.

It isn't that I want to run across both.
I wanted the game on 1 screen and another screen to put up web pages, voice server etc.
I guess it is the same difference to the card though. I may just be better of with another card and another 144hz screen.
I would've thought running the game windowed and making sure it didn't stray onto the other screen would be possible.

[Xorg] Dual Screen issue

Hello ladies and gents,
I try since few days to configure a dual screen for my arch.
At least, it doesn't works , my second screen is always black.
My configuration :
I have a Radeon HD 7870
I've installed the opensource drivers xf86-video-ati
I use awesome 3 as window manager
The first screen is plug in HDMI on MDMI-0 (it's a ViewSonic 24" in 1920x1080_60)
The second screen is plug in DVI on DVI-1 (it's a Samsung SyncMaster 24" in 1920x1080_60)
Both of them works fine in standalone.
And both of them works fine together during the boot and the system choice (syslinux).
After the choice, black out for my second screen.
I'have done lot of tries. Any of them works.
I tried to use xrandr :
xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --verbose
The second screen is always black et xrandr returns :
crtc 0: 1920x1080 60.0 +0+0 "HDMI-0"
crtc 1: 1920x1080 60.0 +1920+0 "DVI-1"
Same result with arandr
For information :
xrandr -q --verbose
returns :
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384

Hello everyone !
Here is the dmesg :

If it can help.
I'm not sure if i posted in the good section. Maybe i should move the post to Kernel & Hardware ?

X + Ati/radeon + Compiz = white screen.

So I'm trying to configure Arch Linux with my Ati Radeon HD 4870 card. I've got it all set up, and I can get dual screen working with Gnome's display management tool. (Although I want to use LXDE instead, and i've yet to figure out my dual screens with that). But here's my major problem atm: I can't get compiz fusion to work. Whenever I do
fusion-icon
In terminal, it just goes all white. I press ctrl+c to get out, but then my window borders are gone, and I have to replace it using metacity --replace.
So, any ideas?
Oh, and it does the same thing with both the ATI and RadeonHD drivers.

Ok... Many posts like this on the forum.
If you are using opensource drivers you do not have 3d support for newer ATI cards.
mesa 7.7 is expected around christmas, and will probably introduce this along with the 2.6.32 kernel. (Hopefully)
Then you can try fusion-icon again
(or go with the aur catalyst thing... i have decided to wait for my 4870x2)
