How do I setup a dual monitor (ATI fglrx with KDE)?

Hi, I'm trying to setup a dual monitor.. I connected with DVI to DVI and after restarting X the second monitor becomes a mirror/clone of the first (original laptop screen). However, I don't want it to be mirrored. I only want to have windows I drag over to it on the second monitor. How do I do that? In Control Center>Display, I can only choose settings for screen 1, I don't know why it can't find my 2. screen (even though X does).
Here's xorg.conf (I would appreciate if I could stick to only configuring it in Control Center though):
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Try using amdcccle (from the command-line) if you want to avoid configuring in Xorg.conf
Otherwise, you can try Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal" in your fglrx device section

MiniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when..

miniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when the adapter is attached and the TV is off ? And will keeping the adapter connected even if it is not in use, cause damage to the adapter ?

I have my external monitor/tv setup of the left. If I leave the adapter attached with the TV off, I am still able to cross the border/boundry of my MBP screen ! As instead of detecting a TV, the MBP is detecting the adapter as a screen. I do not want to damage my thunderbolt/miniDisplay port by plugging and unpluggin the unit each and every time.

OpenGL freezes computer with dual monitors and fglrx

I am trying to use the fglrx driver, and with a single monitor I seem to have gotten everything working.
However I am running into issues with two monitors. Basically, when I have two monitors any opengl program doesn't run properly.
There are two cases. If I use the xorg.conf generated by "aticonfig --initial", it still seems to detect the other monitor (although there is a black region on my gnome desktop). If an opengl program is run, the screen goes crazy where random pixels are changing different colors. I can end the program, and everything goes back to normal.
Using the program "amdcccle" I generated xorg.conf for dual monitors (I pasted it below). When I use this configuration, any opengl program completely freezes the computer instantly.
I have been looking for a while, but have not found any information that might lead to a solution. Does anyone here have any advice?

+Sorry. I mean "right" in the last sentence.+
Hello.
I put my second monitor of a dual monitor set-up to the left of the main monitor - the one with the FC application, keyboard and mouse, etc. Trouble is the mouse kept hitting the left hand wall of my main monitor when I tried to send it to the second monitor. After a while I realized the mouse/computer thinks the second monitor is to its right, so I have to exit the right hand side of the main monitor to get to the one on the left.
Is there any way to instruct FC and the mouse that the second monitor is on the left? Can the mouse be instructed to "pass" through the left hand wall of the main monitor rather than the right? Or must the second monitor always go the right of the main monitor?
Thanks.
John

New Dual-Monitor fix work with StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN ?

Hi all,
The new fix for flash to allow fullscreen video on dual monitors is a great addon. Is there a way to have this work with the StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN command as well? So far its acting as normal. I assume this may be because its not actual video, but an application that im fullscreening.

How do i get dual monitors to work with bootcamp (windows 7)

i have a macbook pro intel core i7
using a VGA adapter for connection of the monitor
when i use the mac side the dual screens work perfectly, but when i use bootcamp with windows 7 the screen stays blank, i know it ver recognizes it because when i drag my mouse over to the right it goes out of the screen and then i have to drag for a while before its back on the mac screen, so it is being used but not being displayed. also when i first start up windows its shows the boot screen on the monitor aswel but then goes blank.

If you are talking about MS Windows then you need to launch either Boot Camp or run it in Virtualization app such as Parallels or VM Fusion. You also need a valid license of MS Windows.However if that is not what you mean then you must be much more specific. For example:
"I want to share some files between my PC running Windows 7 and my new iMac running 10.9.3, how do I go about that?"

How to AWESOME wallpaper on dual monitors?

I have set up two monitors as Screen0 and Screen1 in xorg.conf
I am wondering how to display different wallpapers on these two monitors.
What can I put in my .xinitrc?
thanks

I use both nitrogen and feh. Sometimes I'm connected to a second monitor and sometimes not so I want the right wallpaper restored depending. I use the following in my .xinitrc:
if [ `xrandr | grep -c 3840` -ne 0 ]; then # running dual-head
nitrogen --restore # set different bg on each monitor
elif [ -f $HOME/.fehbg ]; then
eval `cat ~/.fehbg` # set standard single screen bg
fi

How do i fix this dual monitor issue?

I'm trying to use two monitors in Premiere Pro: my main monitor for my timeline and editing, and the second for putting bin windows on. The issue is when I simply try to click to play a clip, full screen playback comes up on both monitors and basically freezes. I have to unplug the second monitor to get the monitor to respond.
I am up to date, I have tried checking and unchecking the second monitor playback button in Prefrences > Playback menu, I've restarted the program, and tried restarted my computer.
please help

this seems to be a new bug, seen a few posts but no solutions. you can try updating video driver. try changing the renderer to software only, thats in the menu "project settings". along with the unchecking of the second monitor in playback preferences, make sure the wrench tool icon menu on the program panel has enable transmit unchecked. do you have any third party plugins or hardware premiere uses? does this happen instantly or just every so often? computer specs, win/mac, hardware etc.

Dual MOnitors stopped working with the Windows 8.1 upgrade valentines week 2015

The recent windows 8.1 upgrade during the week of 2/8/2015 broke the ability to duplicate screens on my Envy dv6 and a Hannspree LCD. There is no screen on the Hannspree while it does remain on the dv6. Switch to external screen only and the screen does display on the Hannspree. Switch to extend and the dv6 remained the primary screen, and the Hannspree can only show the screen saver.

Hi @MikeD48
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
Understanding multiple monitors from windows.microsoft.com may also help.
If the above has not helped I would do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) with the exteranl monitor disconnected.
This returns the notebook back to defaults.
HP & Windows 8.1 Update
Now without reconnecting the external monitor redo your Windows 8.1 update. The above link may assist you with that process.
Please be sure all updates are done before reattempting the update.
Now if you reconnect your external are you able to set it up correctly?
Good Luck!

How to get Asus VG278H 3D monitor to work with MSI GT70 0NC-002US?

So I just got this monitor for Christmas and it works great in 2D, but my Nvidia control panel will not show the option to set up stereoscopic 3D, I know this laptop is definitely capable of supporting 3D as it has a GTX670m graphics card, and MSI states this in the product description. I have contacted Nvidia customer support, but they weren't able to help, I have updated the graphics card drivers, and am connecting the laptop to the monitor with an HDMI cable. Please help if you can!

Quote from: flobelix on 31-December-12, 00:28:20
There is no hint on product site for this notebook being 3D Vision certified. As this is a notebook it takes not just the gpu but also the screen to be 3D Vision certified. Even if it would be I highly doubt it would work on an add-on screen and not just the notebook's screen.
Sadly....this notebook is 3D Vision certified.....If you actually check the product page, it's one of the major things that are pointed out. Actually, I guess the link I have is for the 0NE (which is what I have), but still...The ONC and OND should be the same.
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0NE.html
Right there at the end of all the graphics information it talks about 3D Vision. =/
The 0NC is a bit different. It lacks all mention of 3D Vision. =/
Now....the worst part. 3D Vision requires a Dual Link DVI connection, which this laptop lacks. HDMI is only comparable to a single-link DVI connection as well. That being said, you're pretty much out of luck when it comes to using the monitor in 3D Mode. Especially with the next part....
Lastly.....taken from http://www.techjailbreak.com/msi-gt70-0ne-255fr-gaming-laptop-complete-review-and-specs/ which is for the GT70-0NE....
Quote
Finally, note that the GTX 680M is compatible with all technologies Nvidia (PhysX, Optimus, etc..) but some of them (such as 3D Vision) cannot be used on the machine, for lack of suitable 3D display. However, if you have the glasses and a 3D Vision screen, nothing prevents you from connecting the MSI GT70 via HDMI and 3D gaming (720p only).
I hate to say it, but it really looks like you're out of luck when it comes to using that monitor for 3D.

How do you setup a send to a track with multiple effects?

I am just learning how to mix and master songs as well as using Adobe Audition and was wonder if it was possible to allow a track to have multiple sends on them, Lets say one send containing Reverb on one bus, then another send applied to the same track containg delay thus allwoing me to controll idependently how hard the two seperate affects will contribute to the mix.

Audition allows you to have up to 16 sends on each track with a separate level control on each. And you can set up a bus track for each containing it's own effects rack. If you really want to you can use any one of the sixteen sends from a bus to another bus or to the master track.

How do i setup itunes only on external drive with windows

well i have windows xp running on bootcamp. i have my main library on my internal drive on my os x partition.
i want to have music with xp without putting music on my bootcamp partition ( i think my size is 25 or 35 gig). how do i do this on my external drive? do i install itunes on my windows external partition and just copy my music folder there and then import?
i want to make sure i have a good idea of what to do before i start fooling around. my windows partition is fat 32 while my bootcamp is ntsf

Move the iTunes music folder to the desired location, and then drag it into the open iTunes window. iTunes itself must be on the startup disk.
