How to setup triple monitor in Dell E5430

I'm trying to set two monitors plus the onboard display to work as triple monitor, but I'm getting "xrandr: Configure crtc 2 failed". I can get both monitors working together. Does someone know what is wrong? Thanks in advance!

Any luck?
I have a similar issue. I currently have a triple monitor setup, a 1920x1080 + the laptop at 1920x1080 + another on 1600 x 900. this works fine. When I swap out the 1600x900 for another monitor at 1920x1080, i get the same error. I can get any combination of 2 monitors working, and I can get all 3 working if the 3rd is at a reduced resolution (1400x900), but at full resolution i just get the error. The same setup works fine in windows at 1920x1080.

How to setup system monitoring of EP 7 to Solution Manger 7.0

Hi Experts,
I need help for configuring EP 7 (only JAVA engine) for system to Solution Manger 7.0. IF anyone of you have steps or config guide pls help me ???

Hi Vikas,
In general, system monitoring in SAP Solution Manager use CCMS as the data supplier, which means that, you need to configure CCMS alert infrastructure for your EP system.
General steps:
1. Configure solution manager or other ABAP system as the CEN (central) system as the CCMS infrastructure.
2. Install SAPCCMSR agent (which is part of CCMS Agent), and connect the agent to CEN system
3. Setup system monitoring in Solution Manager
For more information, you can access the help portal of SAP.
Hope that helps.
Thanks, Jett

How to setup external monitor?

I know it's been asked numerous times before, but I can't find the solution I'm looking for.
I'm running a dual 2.0 powermac g5, with dual 20" monitors for editing, and I'd like to hook up an external televison that ONLY shows the canvas in FCP 5.
Here's the catch: I don't want to have to go through a camera to do this.
There has to be an easy solution here... when I was in college, they had it setup that way, but they were on PC's and Premiere. Is going through a camera or a dv to analog converter box the ONLY way to do this?? How could it be so easy on a PC, and difficult on a mac. That just doesn't make sense.
I'm sick of doing color correction, then having to burn to dvd, then going to watch it on the big screen just to see that the colors are totally different, and starting the whole process over again till I get it right.
thanks -brown

I pretty sure that the PC's at school DID NOT go through a converter box, and I'm positive they didn't go through a camera. If I remember correctly, it was just an audio/video cable that came directly out of the computer, and directly into the external monitor. Then it was as simple as setting it up in Adobe Premiere to just show the "canvas".
I just don't see why mac would make it difficult. Seems to me that it should be a top priority for them to make it as simple as connecting a cable. Doesn't every editor want an external ntsc/pal monitor to view thier stuff?? and doesn't apple get a lot of thier sales from post production people??
I don't get it. Oh well... I guess I'll put some money aside for the converter box.
Any other ideas still welcome. I read a post in hear about the "screen spanning doctor" and I think someone said they got it to work that way... but it wasn't perfect.

MacPro3,1 triple monitor setup

Hi there!
I'm looking to expand my Apple 30" monitor setup with two (very cheap but highly acclaimed) Dell UltraSharp™ U2311H monitors. However, I'm unsure if I do or do not need an additional video card and if so, which one. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with (I think) two DVI-I Dual Link ports. I've read that there are DVI-splitters, but I have been unable to find any conclusive information.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Friendly greetings, D, Amsterdam.

Hi Grant!
Thanks for your help earlier ;-)
I hope you might be able to shed some light on a little problem I have with my triple monitor setup. I bought the following items:
Two Dell Professional P2411H 61cm (24") LED monitors.
Two MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapters.
I've took your advice on the card and also got one ATI RADEON HD 5770 1GB-ZML card.
The monitors, in combination with the adapters and the card ... it all works, but there's one limitation I believe shouldn't be there.
The problem is this: either the hardware or software is only allowing me to connect two displays in total. If I connect all three displays, only the Dell monitors are able to connect. If I disconnect one Dell monitor, the Apple 30" display goes live. So, whatever in whatever combination or order I try to connect the displays, only two screens are connecting simultaneously.
Do you, or does someone else know how to fix this? Would be great to fix this soon and become the pixonaut of my own digitale cockpit!

How to setup dual external monitors on a MacBook Pro 15" A1398?

Need to setup dual monitors for my new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display A1398. I am in instructional designer and need the larger display from dual monitors. I think the best way is to connect using a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter in the two Thunderbolt ports or HDMI out of the one HDMI port and the other using a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. I have two Thunderbolt ports, two USB ports and one HDMI port. How do I setup OS X Mavericks for this as well. I want to run it in clamshell mode. Wondered if there are any better or easier ideas?
With peace and love,
Sam K.

Hi! I recommend you using both thunderbolt ports with their HDMI adapters, i don't know why but in my case it has worked better than having one monitor connected on one thunderbolt port and another on the HDMI port. As for the clamshell mode I recommend you this articles: Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display and http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/08/quickly-enter-clamshell-mode-with-an-external-dis play-in-mac-os-x/.
This are a few recommendations:
1. Use a usb mouse and keyboard, because sometimes bluetooth ones are not that trusty
2. You could buy one of the fancy things (you can see one on the second article) that hold your macbook up to prevent overheating. If you can't afford one or you don't to buy one, you can prop your macbook with some books on the side of the union between the lid and the keyboard (i don't know the word in english) and a very heavy one on the other side.

Update - it works ! At least I can connect to Mountain Lion (not server) from my iPhone using the VPN Server Configurator app.
Here's what I did :
1) download the app and install
2) setup using the help files on the web page : http://www.greenworldsoft.com/product-vpn-server-help.html
3) at the last stage you need to setup port forwardin on your router
4) under Airport Utility 6.0 you cannot setup ports 500 or 4500 due to BTTM conflicts but setup the other 2 ports (1723 TCP and 1701 UDP), update airport extreme
5) download Airport Utility 5.6 from here : download already extracted utility it is in it's extracted form as is necessary under Mtn Lion (thanks to NetUse Monitor for the download - great app by the way)
6) run 5.6 and setup port forwarding (Advanced-Port Mapping) for the other 2 ports (500 and 4500 UDP), update airport extreme
7) that's it, I was able to connect to the VPN from my iPhone !

How to setup a wireless printer

I was wandering if anyone out there knows how to setup a wireless printer without spending a lot of money. I have a dell photo 962 printer and a wrt54g router. I have tried to setup the printer on my laptop but it will not let me do so unless I connect it directly to the printer. My computers are running windows xp. Thanks for your help.

well for that you need to setup a printer as network printer, if your printer have networking capabilities...if not then you need to buy print server...

T420 - Triple Monitors/Enable Optimus?

I have a T420, and am trying to run 3 monitors (2 external + the laptop display). I am have hooked up one monitor to the VGA and another to the display port on my docking station, and am able to run 2 monitors in any combination. However it won't let me do 3.
According to what I read here http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Options-Accessories/Mini-Dock-Plus-Series-3-with-Triple-Monitors/td-p/57..., I should make sure Optimus is enabled. How exactly do I do this? I saw one note regarding the bios, but I didn't see the setting there that referenced Optimus.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am trying to setup system monitoring for different systems in solution manager but the 'Setup System Monitoring' is disabled.
In solman I go to Solution_manager --> Operations Setup --> on the right side pane 'Setup System Monitoring' is disabled. How can you change this to change mode so that you can configure monitoring for different systems? Any idea, please help.
Thank you in advance.

Triple monitor: Sapphire HD5670 512MB (*non* eyefinity version)

Those reading will know that, in order to have up to 3 displays showing content in a single graphics card, if it's an AMD card then you need a certain feature known as EyeFinity.
In particular, I am talking about tihs card:
http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalo … CDAQ8wIwAQ
You will notice in the picture that this one has DP, but there is another version that has VGA port in its place. I courd not for the life of me find it again, but at the time of buying the concern was CRT usage, so a VGA port was important. I did not know about EyeFinity at the time.
This guide is for people whe made mistakes like this.
This is typically the case. With my card in particular, you cannot get triple monitor in Windows, because the drivers prevent it (it is possible in Linux).
I said prevent.
If a card has 3 video outputs, each with their own RAMDAC (or none, if its digital-only), then why can you not use all 3 at the same time?
Typically in such a setup, if it does not have EyeFinity, then the connectors are usually:
VGA, DVI, HDMI (my card)
or
DVI, DVI, VGA (other cards)
or
DVI DVI, HDMI
or
HDMI, HDMI, DVI
In other words, all ef these types of card without support for EyeFinity, do not have:
DisplayPort connector
This is a rather crude way of getting it to work, but any solution is a selution still.
Well, here is a simple way I get triple monitor on my card that does not support EyeFinity:
VGA lcd in the VGA
DVI lcd in the DVI
DVI lcd in the HDMI (using HDMI-DVI adapter)
The HDMI is disconnected via a coupler, before I boot into Linux. I have a script with these commands:
xrandr --auto --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024
xrandr --auto --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of VGA-0
xrandr --auto --output HDMI-0 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of DVI-0
(run it as a bash script)
With the HDMI (via HDMI-DVI, then a DVI coupler, then DVI to DVI going to the monitor) disconnected at the coupler, I run this script.
Of course, this script sets triple monitor, but right now only the DVI and VGA are hooked up.
Once it has done, I have dual monitor.
Then, connect at the coupler (or "gender changer") on the HDMI output. Now all 3 displays are connected, but you still have dual monitor.
Run the above commands again, and you will see triple monitor.
Now that you have solved the problem of getting tri-monitor in X, if you look at your TTYs you will notice that only one of the screens is showing. In X (usually terminal 7 or 8), simply disconnect the HDMI at the coupler for a few seconds, then reconnect it.
Now you to your TTY (Ctrl-Alt-F{1-6}), and it will show text on all 3 screens (albeit duplicated).
Thoughts,
I am not sure as to why this is possible to do. I see it as "tricking" the other incapable hardware into outputting on 3 displays, but it seems penfectly functional.
My guess is that this actually is an EyeFinity card, in the sense that it is the same base an which other cards (with DP, and thus, EyeFinity) are built, but that this particular card can be used in the same way, to get triple monitor.
Either that, or this is a "bug" in X11/XrandR (if it is a bug, please do not fix it, I like my triple monitors, I call it a feature).
I know that this certainly works in Xubuntu too, I tried it on a Live CD.
I tried removing the graphics card and trying this on the intergrated graphics (HD 4290/4250 I think), which also has the same 3 outputs, but the hardwas itself actually enforces a maximum of 2 monitors. If you have DVI and HDMI hooked up, it defaults to HDMI, but masquerades as DVI (where the drivers are concerned). You could use this hack, but then it would still not work because the hardware itself, not the driver softawre, is enforcing it.
The board is: ASUS M4a89GTD PRO

Hello,
i get the same messages without any problems for my intel card.
You can read more about it in this thread:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-85 … ec66f93bf2
There are a fair amount of people who have posted their /proc/mtrr there, you can compare yours to them.
In the end they come to the conclusion, that uncachable entries are not a problem, for the most systems.
However uncachable regions of 1024MB seem to be too large.
On my mtrr the biggest uncachable entry is 64MB.
So you might get improvement from solving this.

Need Xorg config file for dual graphics cards, triple monitors

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble getting triple monitors working on my system. The two plugged into the graphics card (radeon x300) work fine, but the one plugged into onboard graphics (geforce 6150SE) refuses to appear in xrandr. I figure I need to make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf file but I'm confused about how to do it with separate cards. I find the wiki instructions that I can find confusing, as I've never had to deal with xorg files before (has always autoconfigured for me no problems).
Relevant code:

I just can't seem to understand how to write the 10-monitor.conf file. I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand?
Also, the third monitor to be connected via onboard VGA is also 1280x1024 and will be left of the other two.

Depends on the motherboard. This one allows you to enable the onboard graphics only when no external card is found, or always enable. The PCI-E card initialises first, if that helps.
EDIT: Also I can confirm that it can run both cards (all three monitors) at the same time by switching to initialise the onboard card first, however that makes some weird stuff happen so I switched it back. And also the nouveau driver is shown in lsmod, and gets detected in the boot message logs.
