New 2nd monitor - xrandr & awesome

I just bought another monitor (yay craigslist!) with the intention of having a workspace stretched across the two of them.  Both are 17-in that support 1280x1024.  I've got one plugged into the VGA port on my nvidia card, with the other plugged into the DVI (through a DVI-to-VGA converter, since it's VGA as well).
When I'm not running X, output gets cloned to the 2nd screen.  When X starts, though, it goes into powersave.  Xrandr only shows one monitor:

which is essentially the same, except trying to follow phrakture's instructions here.  This results in a desktop that's the proper size, but only on one monitor - moving the mouse over scrolls the screen sideways.
URandR doesn't support the nvidia driver, and zarfy seems like it would work ok, except it only shows one monitor.
I'm not particularly tied to xrandr - xinerama or somesuch would be ok, but I read that xinerama is deprecated and I should use xrandr, so that's what I'm trying.

FALK wrote:Tried nvidia-settings?
Oh my, that's wonderful!
phrakture wrote:I find this easier to work with, and might be something you're interested in if you just want to distinct screens
I think this is what I want, as well.  Right now, via nvidia-settings, it's working great, except for the fact that nvidia-settings doesn't recognize 1280x1024 as a valid resolution for the 2nd monitor, even though it's the recommended resolution for it.  I managed to set it using xrandr, though, and it seems to be working fine.
EDIT:
...until I rebooted.  It's stuck at 1024x768, and xrandr won't set it higher because it's "not found in available modes".
Normally I'd just add a section to the xorg.conf, but I'm a bit lost as to what's happening in it.  Here is the appropriate section:
Section "Screen"
# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select @1280x1024 +0+0"

EndSubSection
EndSection
I tried changing it such, but it didn't seem to help:
Section "Screen"

# Removed Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select @1280x1024 +0+0"

  • Good 2nd Monitor for FCX.

    Hi
    Im looking to get a new 2nd monitor for my FCX set up.
    Currently I have a Cinema 23" as my main and and old Sony Crt ref monitor vis a PCI Blackmagic card.
    I want to get a HD monitor.
    Ive just tried a Ezio CS230 £600 monitor but had trouble with blacklight bleed on 2 differant screens.
    Not sure if this comes with the price range, but it was horrid when working on dark material.
    I havent a huge budget and would like the smallest screen size if poss, around 15- 24" max.
    I know you need to spend loads for a "proper" colour grading monitor, but there must be something around the £700-£1000 that will have good blacks with out
    all the back lighting.??
    I would like to do some basic colour grading. It mainly for DVD and music videos.etc.
    Any advice much apprieciated.

    So am I the only person using a second monitor...???????
    Are we all saying that I dont need it and that a MAC monitor ( Imac or 27" is good enough >???)

  • Just got new macbook pro, how do you hook up 2nd monitor?

    Just got new MacBook Pro, How do you adapt to 2nd monitor?

    You will need a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) cable and an adaptor for the type of connection your monitor requires. You will find the adaptors at Apple's online website.

  • New iMac loses 2nd monitor

    My new Imac 21 - i7 - Lion - dual monitor (connected with thund-hdmi adaptor) has a strange behavior.
    Everything works fine, but when the system goes in power saving mode, on coming back sometimes the second monitor becomes gray (working but no wallpaper), sometimes comes back normally, but ALWAYS all applications windows goes back to the main imac monitor.
    I've tried to switch of the 2nd monitor and the behavior is the same. So is not a power saving problem.
    It seems that the imac always autodetect monitor situation on the fly and moves windows back to the main monitor.
    The problem is that the "moving windows back function" seem to be faster than monitor detection.
    Is there a way to say to lion: "I always have two monitor, please don't change"?!?
    thank you for help.

    I suspect it may be the adapter.  I would recommend trying the one Apple recommends here or trying another connections such as a VGA or DVI assuming the monitor has that type of connection.

  • HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector  -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

    I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • MacBook Pro performance issues w/2nd monitor and FCP7

    I have this MacBook Pro bought brand-new in January 2010:
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 6 MB
      Memory: 8 GB
      Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    and until today had never attached a second monitor to it. Today I hooked up my Samsung 24" to do some dual screen editing in Final Cut 7.0.3. I was unable to play back my video at full speed in the second monitor, and after a few seconds of skippy playback I'd get that error message about unable to play back video at full speed and to check my RT settings. I was using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. My computer has no issues playing the video in the laptop's monitor at any resolution and any quality settings (I've never changed the RT settings or anything else in the menu ever but I tried every combination this time). I then tried using my TV as a 2nd monitor with an HDMI adapter. Same performance issues. I then tried my friend's newer 13" MBP 8,1 and it performed flawlessly with the same project & footage. I feel like my $3,000 computer should outperform a $1,200 one even if mine is a year and a half older. Any advice?

    Wow, you posted this perfectly to coincide with an identical problem, albeit using Logic Pro 9.1.5 rather than FCP.
    Last week, I purchased a 23" external monitor to use alongside my "flagship" 2011 15" hi-res, 2.3 i7 Macbook Pro with 8Gb of RAM.
    It is connected via a mini-DVI to D-sub analog (not that that should matter?) and all appeared fine.
    The first issue I had was with my MBP's fan now running CONSTANTLY, when I have the second monitor attached. Even when the machine is completely idle.
    When using the machine to record audio, this is a fairly hefty problem and not something I had anticipated - indeed why would I anticipate such a thing?
    What is far, far worse though is that over the last few days I have had repeated problems with performance drop-outs and errors in Logic and I have trying to fathom out why. Realising that the only major system change made, was the above monitor connection, I ran some tests.
    I restarted my MBP, no other apps were running and with my new 23" monitor attached acting as main display with MBP built in display on as secondary
    I loaded up a fairly demanding Logic project which was hitting 40% to 60% CPU usage when using the built in MBP display last week
    I ran activity monitor and had CPU usage history open
    The above project now repeatedly overloads and playback halts in a given 8 bar section - with CPU at 80% most of the time
    I disconnected the external display, no shut down, I just let the machine switch to the built in 15".
    Started the same project, the same 8 bar section and hey presto - CPU usage back down to 40% to 60%
    The above was reflected in the CPU usage history with the graph showing CPU use down by about a half, when running this Logic project WITHOUT the external display.
    There is a very useful benchmark Logic project that has been used as a test by many users to gauge Logic performance on given Apple hardware.
    The project has about 100 tracks pre-configured with CPU intensive plugins, designed to tax the CPU.
    The idea is that you load up the project with tracks muted, press play and then unmute the tracks steadily until Logic us unable to play contiunously because of a system performance error.
    On my MBP, with the external monitor NOT attached, I can play back around 50 of the audio tracks in this benchmark project.
    With the monitor attached, I can get about 22 tracks playing.... which is actually a far worse a performance drop (-50% I think!?) than with the first example!
    I did also try with just the external monitor attached and not the MBP display and performance was about 10% better than with dual monitors - so still extremely poor, to say the least.
    This machine is the flagship MBP and has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750 GPU which should take care of most if not ALL graphics processing - I mean it's capable of running some pretty demanding games!
    Putting aside the issue of constant fan noise, there is no reason AT ALL, why using an external monitor should tax the i7 CPU this way - it's not as though Logic is graphically demanding... far from it.
    I am on 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5, all apps up to date via "Software Update".
    I will of course, be contacting Apple...

  • 2nd Monitor won't work

    I bought a Pavillion p6210f last week with Win7 loaded to replace my Dell/Vista.  I was using two monitors with a VGA port and DVI port on the old PC, so I tried plugging in the same on my new HP and the DVI would not fit.  In examining the pins I found that, althought the Manual said DVI, but the plug has the pin/bar arrangement of a DVI-D.   So, I bought a VGAto DVI-D adapter and everything plugged in snuggly.  All pins and bar appear a match.
    But, it won't work.  This is what is showing
    NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller   HP RC Mirror Driver [Display adapter]
    NVIDIA GeForce 9100 [Display adapter]
    Acer P241W [Monitor] (24.0"vis, s/n LB4040014320, March 2008)the one working monitor....
    After hours with the 800 support and hours of reversing the two Acer monitors, the DVI-D port is simply dead.  Anything plugged in to the VGA works fine, anything and any combination plugged into the DVI-D and cable switching etc. the 2nd monitor  is not even recoginized.  The NVIDIA control panel doesn't recognize it. The amber power light just stays that way and nothing ever flashes on the 2nd screen.  That is, it is the same as not plugging in at all.
    I was less than pleased when 800 tech and supervisor suggested I take it to a repair center.  A week old?  I have put way too much setup and data transfer into the new HP to go back to the retailer for a replacement. 
    Techs didn't know, but could there be a DVI-X with the same pins that also fits

    Eldric, did you update to the latest video driver from nVidia?  It sounds to me like a driver problem.  Update and let us know if that solves your problem.

  • Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) lags since I connected a 2nd monitor - HELP!!

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a 2nd monitor and i have lags every 5 seconds which
    last about half a second (feels like 10 or less fps during the lag).
    It happens with all kinds of applications. It gets worse with multiple
    applications openend at a time. The crazy thing is that it only occurs
    when i start to use both monitors at the same time. When i e.g. use
    Logic 9.1 and use one monitor everything runs nice and smoothely
    but as soon as i move the window slowly to the 2nd monitor i can
    see the window lagging while I'm moving it. This is really annoying
    because it seems not every input from the mouse/keyboard gets
    into the system and its not a smooth workflow at all.
    I switched the monitors connections but it didn't help.
    Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz 8-core
    Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.2 )
    6GB RAM (2x2gb kingston, and the usual 2x1gb)
    ATI 2600XT and 3 HDD.
    1 Monitor 24" LG W2452T running at 1920 x 1200
    1 Monitor 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW running at 1680 x 1050
    I really hope that you guys can help me out with this one.
    What could be the problem? The ATI 2600XT should definately
    be able to handle two screens at once with such little graphics
    in logic 9 ?!
    I want to run Logic 9 and an analyzer software (Spectre from AudiofileEngineering)
    at the same time but its not possible with the LAG.
    The problem/lags also occur when i sync the monitors.
    Would a 2nd graphics card be a solution? But as I said
    before its not a graphics demanding application.
    Is it a hardware or software problem?
    Summary:
    - The whole System lags (not just one monitor) when
    I start to use both monitors (having application windows on both).
    I've got minor lags when using only one display and leave the
    2nd one with the desktop wallpaper clean.
    I tried:
    -using only the 2x1 GB RAM which came with the mac pro
    -using only the 2x2 GB Kingston RAM
    Thank you in advance for your help guys!

    Hey all,
    I wasn't able to fix this yet.
    I did everything I can think of. I even tried to wire
    one monitor with a VGA cable but it didn't help.
    I even have small lags when I am moving the Safari window
    between the 2 monitors. Really little lags then but they
    definitely are noticeable. I can make a video of that
    if that would help someone understanding.
    Hope there is someone out there who can help me with this.
    Thanks already for any advice!
    Cheers,
    Rick
    Edit: Do you think a new graphics card like the ATI 4870 would
    help it? But I really don't want to spend more money just to
    have 2 monitors while i have already 2 dvi connections on the
    ati 2600XT.

  • What cable do I need to connect a 2nd Monitor from the thunderbolt port?

    Hi I have got one of the brand new iMac's with thunderbolt ports - what cable do I need to connect my Imac to a 2nd display either VGA or DVI - also is there a budget version about as well as I am sure its going to cost a lot from the apple store     

    Thanks I understand that I need another cable and have that from when I connected my old PC to the 2nd monitor.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY  - is this the one I need if going to DVI
    I just dont want to waste more money on a cable that says its for an imac to 2nd screen and find it doesnt fit
    For info my iMAC is the latest version (27" with the 2 thunderbolt connections and 1 firewire)
    Thanks

  • Can I use a 2nd Monitor at 4K resolution (quad hd, 3840 x 2160 pixels)

    HP Envy TS 17 Notebook, Product # E4S19UALaptop is running Intel HD Graphics 4600, and I have 16Gb memory installed. I use a 2nd monitor all the time via the HDMI port - works great.  Both the laptop and the current 2nd monitor are running at 1920x1080 resolution (HD). I would like to attach a 4K monitor - (UHD-1) 3840x2160 resolution - 4 x "regular" HD (twice the horizontal and twice the vertical resolution). Will this laptop be able to operate the 4K monitor at 3840x2160 resolution (even at 30hz would be okay - not for games but rather for word processing, spreadsheets, software development)?  Don't want to invest in the fancy new monitor if the laptop cannot drive it! Here is an exampe monitor: Samsung 28 Inch Ultra High Resolution LED Monitor (U28D590D), available on Amazon.com. Thanks!

    Thanks for the information! As a suggestion, I have a copy of that manual, and it does indeed state precisely the information that I needed. Funny thing is, I looked in the TOC and the Index for anything related to external monitors and HDMI, and there wasn't anything that pointed to that page.  Perhaps for future User's Manuals, the TOC and/or Index could include such references. Either way, thank you so much for the help! Also, for folks who are interested in higher resolution external displays, there is the option to use USB devices such as that from www.plugable.com to attach devices. I don't yet have their USB 3.0 4K compatible one, but I have been using their USB 2.0 HD compatible one for several years so that I can have 3 monitors (built-in, external, Plubable USB) - and it works very well. Flawless operation, though refresh rate is slow (not good for gaming). Which works for me, because it is mainly for surfing and email. 

  • FF always opens in 2nd monitor

    I have dual monitors and occasionally set my 2nd monitor as the primary when testing software. On reverting back to use my 1st monitor as primary (using display settings) I find FF disregards the changed setting and always opens on the second monitor. Reboot does not resolve the problem. All other apps open in primary.
    Any way to resolve this?

    Maybe it was fixed in newer versions of Firefox? You are using Firefox 3.5.
    If you see that Firefox 3.6 has the same problem, read [https://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/basic+troubleshooting this] and, if you see it's a bug with Firefox, file a bug at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla], if it hasn't been filed before.

  • Logic always opens on 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    I am using Logic Studio 9.0.1 under SnowLeopard. I have the annoying problem that my Logic always opens on my 2nd monitor, even when I create a new project.
    How can I change this?
    Thanks in advance.
    BiTRiP

    Check to make sure that your 2nd monitor is not setup as the primary monitor. I have 2 monitors as well and primary is on my left and 2nd on right. Take a look in the system pref to see if thats the case. have you tried swaping the cables on the video card?

  • Connecting a 2nd monitor to my 27" iMac

    Hi All, I am looking to buy a 2nd monitor to go with my 27" 2.9 GHZ iMac (purchased May 2013) and wandered if anyone could provide some advice on the best way to connect it through a thunderbolt port and is there anything I must ensure the new monitor has or certain specifiction. i am looking to buy a 27" monitor to sit aside my current one. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Unless it's an Apple Thunderbolt display or some other Thunderbolt disply you simply connect a MiniDisplay port to (VGA, DVI or HDMI) depending on what the external display has and connect it up. The System Preferences - Diskplays and setup the setting the way you want. This is the ONLY way it will work. There are hundreds of Youtube videos that show you how, here is one example:

  • Connecting a 2nd monitor

    I want to buy either a Dell or BenQ 2nd monitor for my mac book pro.. are these monitors compatible??

    On the new MBPs, they have a Mini DisplayPort, which supports VGA, HDMI and DVI outputs. You could get the Apple LED Cinema Display - it might be a little more expensive but it'll definitely work with the new MBPs.
    BTW, it'd be handy if you put your system details in the text boxes above the 'post message' button when you put something in this forum...that way we'll know what you're running without you having to keep typing it in all the time.

  • 1 Lightning port as both 2nd monitor AND storage SSD? - 21" 2011 iMac

    Hello!
    I am considering picking up my first SSD drive for use as a work horse for streaming video and audio for my prosumer use.  My 21" 2011 iMac only has the one lightning port, which I plug my old 19" LCD monitor into for the extra screen real estate.  Not wanting to bottleneck the SSD speed by connecting it to USB 2 or even FireWire, does such a throughput device exist that would allow the one lightning port to support both  my 19" display as well as a mounted, external SSD drive?  I know that the lightning port had an expandable future, but I'm not sure if this is possible.  If it IS possible, I would imagine doing so would still be expensive.  Thanks a bunch!

    Haha, THUNDERBOLT!   Sorry, mate.  I must have been thinking of the newer iPad/iPhone connector.  Goes to show you how much mind I've paid to apples new port.  Anyway, that's great news.  Thank you.  I was pessimistic about their being enough bandwidth to fully support my 2nd monitor in addition to the top notch speeds of an SSD.  I was curious to know where there might be any sacrifices one way or another.
