H30-50 Dual Screen

Hi ! To begin, I apologize for my bad English  I bought an H30-50 few months ago and now I want to add another screen to my computer. My computer have 2 ports VGA and I connected my other screen to this port but it doesn't work. My drivers are updated and I don't understand why my computer doesn't recognize the screen (Even with Win+P). Thinking that it doesn't work I bought a cable VGA/HDMI to connect on the HDMI port but... it's the same  I don't know what to do, I took a photo to be more clear :  Thank you in advance, and sorry again for my English  

honestly I don't really know about the performance of the x11 output driver, however if you check the man page for mplayer, there are no shortage of other output driver options that you can try, I'd say do a little reading and see what the best one is, or try a couple out and see if you can get better performance.

    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.

  • 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

    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.

    I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
    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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MSI gtx 570 twin frozr III - Dual Screen Windowed mode issues

    Ok, so... I was running a solo monitor 1440x900 resolution, i recently purchased a brand new asus 24 inch 1900x1080 monitor. Basically what is happening is when i play WoW or Battlefield 3 in windowed mode on the 1080p monitor the colors are not perfect. When i go full-screen on the new monitor no issues, but that is not what i want to have to live with. When i say the colors are not perfect what i mean is, for example when i look @ the sky instead of being a smooth transition or blend from one shade of the sky to the next it is bars or stripes of each shade as if i am looking at the sky in 8 bit color instead of 32 bit color. Another thing to note is that when i login to windows 7 the blue screen where i input the password has the same effect. The 1440x900 monitor is running everything just fine. the only issue is with the 1080p monitor.
    I am using DVI cabling for both, and have swapped them around to see if that was the issue, and sadly it is not. I am running the updated gpu driver, which i uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed again tonight.
    When i use the HDMI cable,  that fixes the issue but i need the HDMI for my 42 inch tv.
    Also in windows, just to cover my bases with this post, i have the native resolutions properly configured, as well as in the game for the given monitor it is being played on.
    Anyone know of a fix for this?

    asus PBZ68-v Pro/Gen3
    Msi gtx 570
    Samsung syncmaster 953bw (1440x900)
    Asus VS248 (1900x1080)
    I am more than happy to re-explain anything that may not be as descriptive or clear to you just let me know!
    EDIT!
    When i run the 24 inch 1080p new monitor as my only monitor on the system, everything runs perfectly...
    Edit #2
    Ok so i have pin pointed a possible cause
    This msi gtx 570 struggles with operating multiple displays with different resolutions, while dual screening with my 1080p television and the 1080p display, everything runs as expected. Having to also render a 1440x900 display is probably the reason i am having the graphic issues. Is there any type of utility, setting, or other fix to this type issue? also this gpu is certainly less than 2 weeks since i purchased i could get a different card to remedy this... any suggestion? if you suggest a different card can you say so with certainty that it will work properly under the condition in which 2 resolutions will be required?

    Ok, the problem is fixed and Svet i skipped a step or two. I installed the new driver with the clean install to save time for an initial attempt. What is interesting is that with the Geforce driver, only one 1920x1080 resolution was available
    The msi driver gave me 2 options, 1920x1080 and 1920x1080 (native). The latter resolution fixed the issue for whatever reason.
    The solution to this problem is so easy, when i purchased battlefield 3 it prompted me to download the geforce.com driver and i did not think anything of it at the time, lesson learned.

  • Dual screen configuration makes keyboard stop working on X

    Hi. My computer is working just fine. And my video card has two outputs (Nvidia[GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)). I got a second monitor, and I was trying to configure Xorg to use the two of them in a dual screen configuration.
    I tried creating the 10-monitors.conf file like described in  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … e_monitors, and here is what happens. X does use the two monitors, and I can even see my mouse pointer moving from one to the other. But then my keyboard stops working, and so do the mouse keys, only moving the mouse around works.
    I have the impression this is related to the missing InputDevices in the ServerLayout. Something in my configuration probably needs that still, if the ServerLayout gets explicitly configured. What should I do? Could this be related to HAL somehow? How do I turn off HAL without it trying to kill me?
    Thanks.

    I have been using nvidia's TwinView for a long time, currently with two different monitor sizes. There is no need to do anything with udev if you have your xorg.conf set up properly. Here's what mine looks like, though you will have to adapt it according to your hardware.

    It is best to let as much as possible be handled automatically, but getting two screens working properly requires a bit of tweaking.
