Cannot use my primary Screen since I plugged a second screen [SOLVED]

Hi folks,
I use a bumblebee configuration with intel + nvidia and I plugged in a second screen via HDMI. Even after restarting with out X!! The first screen remains black after booting. I think I might have to reconfigure the GRUB video config in order to reset the old settings. The Problem arises as following:
1. When I start, the GRUB shows me the Options, where I select Arch. (still on the primary screen)
2. Arch beginns to boot, I see messages such as "arch clean ... " (primary screen)
3. Primary Screen goes black
The only possibility to continue for me is to pluggin the HDMI second screen now, where I can see my Login (no X, only framebuffer)
From the second screen I can start X without problems. When I then go to the gnome settings it tells me that the primary screen should be running as a secondary screen since the external HDMI screen is primary now. But in fact the screen remains black!!
If you have any questions regarding to this please dont hesitate to raise them since this problem is holding me back from my work.
The problem was only the backlight dimming, which has an unusal behavior. Thanks #archlinux for the help.

I had the same problem (also HDMI), and while I dont remember how I set my xorg.conf up, what worked for me was just reading up on creating your own xorg.conf and then do everything from scratch. I use a VGA and HDMI. Tiring work, but now my monitor setup works flawlessly.
I dont think it'll be of any help, but here is my xorg.conf

Ps4 connect to laptop using hdmi

Hi! Tell me how I can connect Ps4 to laptop screen using hdmi-cable?

It's highly unlikely that it would work as the HDMI connections on laptops are typically outputs to connect to an external display. I've never heard of a laptop having an HDMI input.

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI in without any additional software or graphics adaptor. I have a 520-1070
HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not recognized.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

Second monitor using VGA to HDMI or alternative?

Hi,
I recently purchased a HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j038tx Notebook PC.
I have a Dell monitor, which only uses the VGA output.
I have a sony vaio VGA to HDMI adapter, and I tried this adapter with the monitor, it worked fine. I was able to use the monitor as second screen.
However, when I use the same adapter on the HP computer, the second monitor is black and do not get recognised.
Can someone please helpe me!!!!
Do I need to buy a new VGA to HDMI that's specifically built for HP computers?
Or
Do I need to download some drivers to make this work? I just updated the computer with the drivers as I purchased this only a few weeks ago.
or
Do I need to get a different adapter? like VGA to USB? Is there such a thing?
The Dell monitor is about 5 years old, but if it works on my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Laptop that just got released, I don't see why it won't work on the HP too.
Many Thanks

There is a possibility that all you need to do is go into the display properties of the HP and have it look for the adapter.
First the model number of the HP and then the Windows version that is installed, please.

No audio when with second monitor attached and using Extend, Duplicate,or Second Screen Only modes

When I attached a second monitor via HDMI cable and try to use Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen only display modes, I can get the video to display and run but I get no audio unless I set the notebook display settings to P/C Only mode. I really want to use the second screen for PowerPoint/Presenter View and play a embedded video (along with the sound). Even if I try to play a YouTube video I can only get audio when in P/C Screen Only mode. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Please disable HDMI sound to force audio back to the laptop or use different conection such as VGA or DVI. To diable HDMI sound, please right click speaker icon > playback devices > right click and disable HDMI sound.

I was told of an application that will allow the use of a second screen to view my data and files, but I forgot its name. I'd like to make the connection because my LCD is broken.

You don't need an application, just plug a compaitble monitor into the display port of your MacBook Pro, set the screen up in System Preferences>Displays

How do I use my iPad as a second screen with my macbook pro?

I've got splashtop streamer for my ipad. In school my computer teacher has two monitors and she is able to drag stuff from one screen to the other. If i was streaming to my ipad, how could i use it as a second screen? and how could I do this with any old monitor?
BTW if you dont know splashtop streamer, it is a software that lets you stream content from a computer or laptop to a wireless device, such as an iPad.

Splashtop only has the ability to mirror your Mac's single screen. It does not let your iPad work as a second screen.
You need an app that is designed to turn your iPad into a real second monitor.
I use Air Display to move all of my pallets to one screen when I am working with my graphics programs on my Mac. I keep my iPad connected to my iMac to keep it charged while I am using my iPad in this manner.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

Hi,
I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid. The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

Using Apple TV as second screen for Windows7.0

Unfortunately, that is not possible.

Using iMac (Intel) as second screen.

Is it possible to easily use an older iMac as a second screen to a new MacBook Pro?
This would obviously save the cost of purchasing a new monitor.
Thanks for any advice/instructions/rulings.

Short answer is no. You need a late 2009 or later iMac to use Target Display Mode Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
There are software work arounds but they may or may not meet your expectations http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html

Use old Windows laptop as second screen for Macbook Pro

Hi all,
I've recently bought a Macbook Pro (mid 2012, 13", 2,5 GHz). So I'm not using my Acer laptop anymore, but I've came across a discussion of people who extended their Mac screen on a Windows laptop. I've tried multiple VNC apps, but no decent results (lots of lag, only mirroring my screen and so on). So my question is: how can I use my Acer to act like a second screen (I prefer a LAN connection instead over WiFi)
Thanks a lot!

No can't be done.
I would like to see the links to anyone that says it can. So please post one or 2 of them. Thanks.

Using 12 inch Powerbook as second screen for new 17 inch MBP.

My new 17' MBP should be here in the new day or two. I want to use my 3 year old 12 inch powerbook as a second screen, mainly to keep my email client open on that screen.
What is the best way to do this? I am sure it's not hard but I have never used a second screen.
for you super users out there....is there a way to run the programs on my bookbook from the keyboard on the MBP without remote desktop? I have some programs on that machine I need to use that can't be run on the new Intel machines (PAUP if you know it). They will be sitting right next to each other so I can just use the other keyboard but I like to save time at everything.
17 Inch Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Just try ScreenRecycler from http://www.screenrecycler.com/
You can even use a Windows PC or a Linux box as second display.
