Dual screen on intel with compiz

Hi all
I've been trying to get compiz to work with dual screen on my fully updated Arch Linux laptop for a while now. It has an Intel card and I usually set up dual screen by using xrandr. This works perfectly under metacity but crashes X under compiz. If I try to set dual screen as the default in the gnome menu and then restart X, I get it under compiz but unusably slow. I have searched google but haven't been able to find a solution. I have reproduced this problem on two different intel based laptops. Has anyone been able to get a working dual monitor setup with compiz on Intel?

Thanks in advance. Posted this on the compiz forums too but I'm a bit scared by the motherload of unanswered questions on there.

MSI 6600 256 dual screen card problem with saving window locations

Hi,
We are running the dual screen setup for this card. We can't seem to find the place where you tell the video card to save windows postions. Everytime we close the app the window goes back to primary monitor location.
I know that older msi cards can save the window location. Can someone tell me how to access this feature using the msi 6600?
Thanks,
Scott

Most likely a driver bug, what drivers? And from where?
You could go to nVidia and read the PDF Documentation and manuals that come with each driver release. nVidia Drivers
Could even go here and browse the folders ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/ You'll see user guides in PDF format.

Dual Screen ThinkPad W520 with docking station

The output of xrandr -q is VGA1 disconnected even if it's plugged in the dock or the laptop itself.
Do you guys have any clues?
thanks

I'm not sure what log message I should look at. I already looked at the Xorg log

Dual screen setup question with G4 17" and 23" Cinema!

I have a 23" Cinema display connected to my G4 17" laptop. I can't figure out how to run an Aperture slideshow on the 23" screen when hooked into my laptop and leave the main screen intact on the 17". It seems to always run on the laptop screen regardless of what settings I have used. The 23" works great in every other situation with Aperture.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I guess you have to set your 23" display as your primary display in System Preferences (dragging the Finder menu bar onto your 23" display) .
This might interfere with your wish to "leave the main screen intact on the 17".

Best driver for dual-screen and 3D with Radeon Xpress 200M [solved]

I need a good graphic driver for double screen and gaming, open source or old Ati one ?
How I do install it correctly ???
Note : catalyst could perform better for gamers ...

Sorry for the mild thread necromancy.
At what resolution do you run the external display? According to AMD/ATI, the radeon xpress 200m supports only up to 1600x1200, but I think I've used bigger displays with no problems.

Any one help me with dual screen?

I am trying to get my LCD monitor work, which is plugged in VGA.
However, when i using "xrandr --output VGA --auto" to set it up, i get this failure "xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA"
i am using intel graphic card, and the result of "xrandr -q --verbose" is as follows,

and now i am using awesome wm. any ideas? Thank you!!

how many monitors do you want to plugin? three? like damjan said, not sure if that works at all.
or are the hdmi outputs idle and you're just trying to plug in a second screen?
whats the exact problem? no output on that screen at all? or mirroring the internal one? in that case, try
xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
(or left-of...)
can you plug that monitor in with hdmi? (adapter/etc) you might try that as well, maybe just the vga fails.
wow.. thank you konni... and thank damjan
i turned off HDMI-1, then I could get VGA work!
now i have dual screens, pretty cool.

Problem with dual screen (24" imac 2006 ver)

hi
i've got a 24" intel imac (2006 ver) and i've connected it using apple's mini-dvi => vga adapter to my 2nd 22" lcd monitor, a samsung 2232GW, which is set to 1680 x 1050.
however, the samsung lcd displays (when i'm using as dual screen) is quite blur and double imaged. quality is readable but very irritating. i'm also using the same monitor for my ps3 (uses the DVI side) and have no problem with any visual aspect. I've tried playing around with the settings like resolution and calibration and tuning but didn't help at all.
anyone might have any ideas and enlighten me on this issue?
thanks

Did you get any resolution to your question? I have the Samsung monitor almost like yours, and I posted two seconds ago. I think I have a similar problem. I had been using my Samsung with my PC, and just switched to Mac. I loved my Samsung, but now ,for the first time using as a second. Hooked up to mini dvi to dvi, and reported a glow, or tinge coming around any window that I may place on the Samsung.Also, when Ilook at the background around the window I can see that the resolution is not perfect and is breaking up a little. Did you try VGA? and did it help? Curious to know

Clipped screen on dual screen+compiz+nvidia

Hello everybody,
I am connecting an external display to my laptop. The laptop display is 1280x800, while the external display is 1280x1024.
NVIDIA is configured to run two separate Xscreens, opposed to the TwinView alternative.
Compiz works on either screens without slowdowns, but the lower area of the external display is black.
It seems that Compiz is running on each screen at 1280x800, and since the external display is larger, a black band is shown at the bottom. How do I configure Compiz to use the full resolution on the external display?
Metacity isn't affected by this issue.
Did you ever experience that? There's not much on Google about that (or too much, searching for compiz+nvidia+dual screen gives too much results )
Forgot to say: this applies to Compiz 0.7.8 and Compiz 0.8.0 upgraded today. Affects Ubuntu and Arch either using NVIDIA 177.x or 180.x.
Cheers,
eaZy

I still haven't found a solution, but I managed to work with Compiz on the main screen (in my case the laptop) and Metacity on the other screen...
I'm starting compiz with
DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --replace --only-current-screen
and metacity with
DISPLAY=:0.1 metacity --replace
This is working, apart of small focus bugs: changing from an active window on a screen to an active window to another screen is impossible, the only solution is clicking on a unfocused object and returning the focus to the target window.
That's actually the work around I was looking for! Thanks a lot. I'm using a 26" tv as the secondary display and compiz is kind of pointless on that, at least to me. For some odd reason I've also noticed that when I set the larger display to a resolution lower than the main display (the laptop lcd), there is no bar with compiz. I don't know how solid this is because after a few restarts it went back to the intended resolution, but since doing the same step again it's been working for now.

Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

try xxx - may work
_may_ work.

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,
Michael

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.

Using Keynote with Podcast Capture and Dual Screens

Hi everyone,
We are trying to use a dual screen setup to record some Keynote presentations using Podcast Capture (i.e Dual mode, with the Keynote presentation in one screen and the presenter in the other).
The problem we are having is that when in full screen mode, Keynote takes control of both displays, thus stopping the Podcast application from being displayed. Even if we switch off the Presenter Display on the second screen, the second screen turns black.
I know we can start and stop recording with hotkeys, but we would prefer to be able to see the Capture app in one window with the presentation full screen in the other.
Perhaps this is just an oversight on Apple's part, but I'm finding it hard to believe its not possible. If anyone else has a workaround then please share.
Thanks.

Other applications are not visible when Keynote is playing back. Keynote takes over control of the graphics system when playing back presentations to enable Keynote to display properly.
When I play back Keynote and I want to look at a second application, I use a second Mac.

2007 intel based iMac has the white screen of death with the mouse visible?? WHATSUP

My 2007 Intel based IMAC has the white screen of death with the mouse cursor as the only visible item. What is up with this? Is this the equivalent of the windows blue screen of death?

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 )

There is a feature on the Ad on using iPad with apple tv as a dual screen such as the iPad as agame controller, how is this being set up or done?

This is something the app developer enables within airplay mirroring.
There is nothing you can do to enable that.
If you are unsure how to enable mirroring
