Dual screen wallpaper

I was just wondering if anyone has any copies of good wallpaper, arch linux based or otherwise, for dual screen setups (something like 2506x1024). I made a very very basic one ( http://www.equivalentsystems.net/arch.png ) to tie me over. But I am an econometrician not an artist and would really appreciate a better background.

I never knew that being a econometrician means you cant be a artist.

Dual screen wallpaper in Awesome

Hey,
Not sure it's the right place to ask but here goes..
I'm using Arch with the Awesome WM. I have a dual screen setup where both screens share the same Awesome config (so, ONE screen {} in .awesomerc).
I set the wallpaper with feh by adding "eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &" to .xinitrc and my problem is that it only sets the wallpaper on my primary screen.
What I want is two different wallpapers on two different screens/monitors. How is this done?
Also, I'm able to set the wallpapers in both screens by manually running "feh --bg-center file1.jpg" in one and "feh --bg-center file2.jpg" in the other one.

**In the code, for more than two monitors, switch statements might be cleaner
If you don't want to install another application, you can apparently with beautiful/gears:
-- {{{ Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
for s = 1, screen.count() do
--gears.wallpaper.maximized(beautiful.wallpaper, s, true)
if s < 2 then
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_one", s, true)
else
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_two", s, true)

Nitrogen wallpaper switcher: Dual Screen wallpaper via bash?

I've grown quite attached to a little script for my laptop that lets me randomly switch the background with nitrogen:
#! /bin/bash
WALLPAPERS="/home/elias/Pics/BackgroundShow"
ALIST=( `ls -w1 $WALLPAPERS` )
RANGE=${#ALIST[@]}
let "number = $RANDOM"
let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number"
let "number = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
echo $number > $WALLPAPERS/.last
nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --save $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number]} <---------- Just need to specify the screen here...
I've had no luck finding how to change just screen 1 or 2 without the GUI. If there's a way, I would just have a separate hotkey for both. man nitrogen and nitrogen --help say nothing about setting for a particular screen.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm playing with imlibsetroot, but it doesn't appear to have the same "zoom-fill" function, and if you set one at a time, it clears the other screen. So you can shuffle both with this:
#! /bin/bash
WALLPAPERS="/home/elias/Pics/BackShow"
ALIST=( `ls -w1 $WALLPAPERS` )
RANGE=${#ALIST[@]}
let "number = $RANDOM"
let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number"
let "number = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
echo $number > $WALLPAPERS/.last
let "number2 = $RANDOM"
let LASTNUM="`cat $WALLPAPERS/.last` + $number2"
let "number2 = $LASTNUM % $RANGE"
echo $number2 > $WALLPAPERS/.last
imlibsetroot -x 0 -s $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number]} -x 1 -s $WALLPAPERS/${ALIST[$number2]}
the option -s scales the image until it fills either the x or y dimension leaving black space. Of course I could crop or limit myself to images with the right aspect ratio, but that's not a solution. The options seem fairly extensive, but I don't see a way to emulate "zoom-fill":
usage: imlibsetroot [globalopts] {[screenopts] [imageopts] <filename>}+
global options
--help print usage information
--version print version information
--composite combine the images with the current root window
--display DDD connect to X display DDD
--store store the new root image to ~/.background.png
--store FILE store the new root image to FILE
--storeslices store the root image of each xinerama display
as a seperate file. (Implies --store .)

-s X,Y set the pixmap's width to X pixels and height

-m {xy} mirror across the X/Y axis
-r {r|rr|l|ll} rotate right/left once or twice
-f {xy} flip the pixmap across the X/Y axis
-p c center pixmap on both axes
-p cx center pixmap on x
-p cy center pixmap on y
-p X,Y place pixmap at position X, Y on the current
screen (current screen based coordinates)
-t (integer tiling if combined with center
--bg COLOR set background color (the area not covered by the
image) to COLOR (COLOR may be a mnemonic, or a
RRR,GGG,BBB triple) (may be used without an image)
--bgcolor COLOR same as --bg

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

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?

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).

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

I'd like to see next generation of Touchsmart PC with Touchsmart keyboard and dual screen

Where you have a monitor as the display and a seperate keyboard, but the keyboard is another monitor which operates as a keyboard, for example something like this...
This ultimately would mean that the keyboard could be application driven, that is it could be specifically configured anyway that the application requires it. I'd also like to see a dual screen option for touchsmart PC - a screen that is built in and can be slid out from the rear of the monitor to act as dual screen, extended screen...

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.

New mac user, IMac with thunderbolt dual screen no longer works

Hi, I have just started using a mac for work and was loving my new dual screen setup. it was functional for a day and now the second screen is black and saying I should check the signal cable. I have
     Tried other DVI cables that go from thunderbolt to screen
     tried 3 screens, one of them from a different brand
     I have updated firmware
     and restarted / shutdown/ disconnected device then reconnect about 10 times
     and pressed detect displays about 20 times (it seems to detect the screen, its just not sending it anything?)
     before the screen stopped I had to do a restart for the latest Itunes and mac updates
but to no response. please help my productivity is really reduced

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

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.
