Second monitor not detected anymore(SOLVED)

In dolphin file manager i removed the home icon from the side panel and now my second monitor won't work.I tried reinstalling xorg and my nvidia drivers but have had no luck.Any help with this would be appreciated.Thx
Btw - Most of my user files disappeared from my home directory when i deleted the icon.

I managed to get it working again but i can't get the resolution higher then 640x480, It should be 1920x1080
edit:
I had to unplug my monitor and reboot.Then i pluged it back in and used gksu/kdesu nvidia-settings and got a resolution of 640x480.After that i just had to reboot again and everything was back to normal.
Also ,the files that were missing from my /home/user/ where easily replaced from the /etc/skel directory and any others that were missing like my .rtorrent.rc just had to be re-downloaded and configured again.

Mavericks Second monitor not detected after wakeup from sleep

Hi everybody,
seems like my problem is getting worse after updating to the latest Mavericks (10.9.5), but the general problem came up with upgrading to Mavericks.
I have two monitors connectet to my 3,1 MacPro with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB, which worked without any problems for years (since SnowLeopard).
After upgrading to Mavericks the Mac started loosing the connection to the second monitor after waking up from sleep.
At first only sporadically and then coming up more often. Some Google search showed that I wasn't alone with this problem. When I first started to find a solution for this, some of the workarounds others recommended seemed to help like resetting the PRAM, choosing another resolution with pressed alt button etc. but over time nothing really solved the problem. I only had a chance to get back my second monitor whenever the problem ocurred. Today none of these procedures seem to help, so I give it a shot with this post...maybe someone has a real solution for this (or at least can confirm exactly the same problem so that I can rule out some other reason than a buggy Mavericks?!?).
What I can rule out from trying different setups:
- It is not a problem of monitor brand (no NEC, both same model Xerox brand) nor size (both same resolution and 22")
- it is not a problem of connections and cables (switching the pluging switches the problem to the other monitor)
-> which brings me to the idea that the problem occurs with just one of the graphic cards ports. But since I have no other card available I'd like to rule out software problems before buying new hardware!
- The problem comes up only when waking up from sleep (immediately trying to reboot after the problem has ocurred brings no solution, the secon monitor stays undetected). Shutting down the Mac and booting up after a while (no specific time, but at least a couple of minutes) brings up both monitors perfectly.
- The monitrs try to get through to the Mac: when switching off the undetected monitor manually and switching it on again, it displays: No signal, going to sleep
Hope there is some help around here...this is really getting annoying!
Yours,
Ray

The weird thing is that every morning, when I move my mouse to wake the computer, both displays go from black to show the desktop but the second display immediately goes back to black. Unplugging it and plugging it back in eventually works after multiple trys. Restarting the computer sometimes works but not always.
The only other major change to my computer before this started happening is that I installed Leopard.
So far I've tried setting my Macbook Pro not to go to sleep but that didn't change anything.
Should I try setting my displays not to go to sleep either? I haven't tried that because Energy Saver warned me that it could reduce the lifespan of the 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. 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!

DVI out to external monitor not working anymore

Hi,
I have been using my MBP with an external Dell 17" LCD for a dual monitor setup. Suddenly after about 5 months of flawless working, it is not detecting the external display anymore. The display is not at fault - another powerbook detects is as ususal. I tested my MBP with another cinema display and again, it is not detecting it at all. I have tried F7 toggles and "detect display" from system preferences. No use at all.
Any ideas?
Should I just take it to the local applestore?
Thanks.

I don't know if SMC resetting fixed it or that RAM resetting fixed that issue...but now the MBP recognizes the external display all the time.
However, it has another issue now -

KDE battery monitor not detecting laptop battery

I am using KDE on my Dell XPS laptop. The default battery monitor that comes with KDE installation is not detecting the laptop battery. It is showing "Battery: Not Present". Because of this I am unaware about the time remaining on my battery. Any solutions please?

Have you tried rebooting *twice*? I've seen this issue but I've always resolved it by rebooting and then rebooting again. (The system goes rather insane on the first reboot and I always think either my hardware is completely screwed or my install of Arch is twisted far beyond the point of insanity. But then on the second boot, it calms down, finds the hardware and carries on quite happily. I've no idea why.)

2nd Monitor not detected on ATI HD 2700

Here is the short version of my story. The company bought a new Intel PowerMac Quad G5 2.5 base model, NO upgrades to replace a PowerPC G5 Dual 2.3. This was due to the fact that After Effect CS4 will only run on an Intel Mac. Not a big deal until the fact that our current Xsan is running 1.42 and that will not run on 10.5. So, I downgraded the OS to 10.4.11 on the Intel Mac, set up the network and fiber channel connections and everything looks to be running fine but only one monitor will come on. The Intel Mac came with a ATI Radeon HD 2700 with dual DVI. We have a 23" Apple Cinema & a 20" Apple LDC (with a Apple ADC > DVI converter) screens. Both are working but only one will be detected on boot up. Here is what I've done so far:
1: Switched the connections, but still only one will show up.
2: Only connected one monitor but tried port 1 and 2, both ports are in working order.
3: Moved the ATI card to the second x16 PCIe slot, same result
4: Replaced the ATI card with a Nvida GeForce 6600 PCIe (was in the PowerPC Mac), neither monitor would come on.
5: Placed both the ATI and Nvida cards in the computer (could hear them yelling at each other), only the the ATI would have a monitor come on.
6: Downloaded the 10.4.11 combo update and re-installed it, same result: one screen.
7: tried to put the kitchen sink in computer but could make it fit.
8: Triple checked my connections and power, all are fine.
So, any help would be great. I just don't know why this card will not detect the second monitor. I've looked in the System Preferences and checked the profile, the card is there and looks fine.
Thanks for your time.

The 2600 is not supported on Tiger. There is a hack to get some type of drivers, but still not right.
What you needed was a 2007 Mac Pro 8-core 3GHz if possible, Apple Store Special had them from time to time.
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/mac_pro
This hits on one area where it is easy to hit wall and hard place, there is no real backward compatibility. New hardware equals OS it shipped with. The Nvidia 8800GT needs 10.5.5+ (10.5.2 minimum but terrible driver issues) and same for Radeon 3870 (the OEM card is your best bet but limited to 10.5.2).
Which is why people hang onto and you continue to see strong prices for Quad G5s probably.
Adobe stuck to Carbon too long. And now they have to catch up to where Snow 10.6 will land.
You still want to use the "Intel G5" it seems in your layout. Maybe Apple should have called it "G6" and painted the box black!
2008 Mac Pros only run Leopard properly, even though Leopard was so new it wasn't really ready and vendors like Adobe didn't have time yet (and some had to wait for bugs and 10.5.2 to even begin to port to Leopard, besides the ".0" version changed - a lot - from what they had last seen.
You really are between rock and hard place. People really hate and detest the old Radeon X1900 for its design, heat, noise, and how it clogs with dust regularly, but at "only" $399, and already 2-3 yrs old, worth a look.

DVD drive not detected anymore

Hi,
four weeks ago or so, I suddenly started to miss my DVD drive in my mount- and even in my /dev folder. From some point of time on (most likely some kernel patch), it just wasn't detected anymore.
Technically it still works, I can still boot from boot CDs, it's appearantly just a kernel detection thing.
I have this mainboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P4VM890 with my harddisk hanging on IDE0 and my DVD drive and CD writer on IDE1.
The output of dmesg doesn't mention anything else then the successful detection of sda0-5.
Things I tried already are:
-Pata hook only, IDE hook only, both, including kernel update.
-Putting ide_disk, cdrm, piix into the MODULES section.
-All combinations of master/slave settings for my HDD and other drives on poth IDE ports.
-All related BIOS-settings
-CK-Kernel, Beyond, etc.
Now in this Thread coolpyrofreak suggested to reinstall Arch with IDE-legacy enabled.. which I guess I have to try at some point, but I don't relly want to install another distribution or windows just be able to burn another arch cd.. and even though it's probably not too much of a hassle to reinstall arch and just keep my old home folder, I thought I'd give it one last try here. I still hope the ide-legacy-option can be activated afterwards. Does anyone know how? Or does anyone have any other idea what I should do?
Thanks in advance.

Iirc ide-legacy has the same result as using ide instead of pata in mkinitcpio.
I've encountered the same problem in my desktop : DVD writer disappeared twice , but came back a few updates later
currently it has disappeared again ...
Using ide or pata doesn't make a difference, i'm inclined towards a kernel/udev/hal related combination problem.

External monitor not detected on Thinkpad W530 intel-virtual-output

I'm having problems with connecting my ThinkPad W530 to external monitors since a few months. I'm using NVIDIA Optimus and bumblebee/optirun since the VGA and Mini DisplayPort connectors are only wired to the NVIDIA card om this laptop. For a long time I have executed:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
Then I have started the Screens GUI tool in Gnome to setup the placement of the external screen but now the external screen is not present in the GUI tool and xrandr gives me:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00
1400x1050 59.98
1280x1024 60.02
1280x960 60.00
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
640x480 59.94
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
If I select "Discrete mode" and select startup screen as VGA in the BIOS the BIOS and the Grub screens shows on the external monitor but the screen locks on the screen that shows that the system is booting with the linux-ck kernel. This has never worked for me in Arch Linux so that is no surprise. In Ubuntu everything everything worked fine the last time I tried.
How can I debug this? Why is the external screen not detected any more?

Thanks, I am not sure exactly how to read the logs but I cannot find anything that is obviously wrong
Below is my log with an external screen connected via Mini DisplayPort and after running:
$ optirun true
$ intel-virtual-output
a few times, no more logs seem to be added when I connect/disconnect the monitor or when I run the above two commands more times.

T61 and the Intel Graphics Card error - external monitor not detected

T61 with Vista 32 bit, Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset and an Advanced Mini Dock.
I am trying to use the DVI port and an external monitor. The driver does not detect the external monitor.
Uninstalling the Intel driver the Generic profile will work on the external monitor, but is overly fuzzy, how do I get the T61 to recognize my external monitor with the right drivers?
I am currently running the Intel Driver Ver. - 7.14.10.1329, which provides the message under Multiple Display:
Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display.
Of course my 22" monitor is connected. That is the frustrating part. I have also uninstalled Presentation Director, just in case, but then re-installed after it seemed that wasn't the problem.
There is a newer driver from Intel but it is not Lenovo approved yet I guess. Though I highly doubt this is the problem. What can I do?
~~
I did post a thread on the thinkpads.com too, but so far haven't had any luck.

Well the new dock came but didn't fix the problem. Now my nice new T61 is packed up in a depot box, waiting for DHL to come pick it up.
dkaufman1 -- I guess we do have different problems. If I set my T61 to display to the DVI port in the bios I get a blank screens on both the DVI connectd monitor and the laptop screen until the OS boots when I have the laptop in the dock. The only way I can see the bios screen to set it back to the ThinkPad LCD setting is to boot it disconnected from the dock.
I really hope that this problem is resolved, as I really like the T61 otherwise. I was even using it with the VGA cable connected to my 22" monitor, but it was pretty hard to take. I'm now back to my old desktop hooked up to the same monitor via DVI and it is quite the relief, even if it isn't as zippy as the T61.

Monitor not detecting connection after installing TI4200 8X

Attempting install of GForce4 TI4200-VTD8X (MS-8894). Searched through the manual and says it can support 4x agp but when I put it in the computer the monitor cannot detect a connection to computer but behind the message saying so I can make out activity while my computer boots up...the stages of the boot process are noticeable but are moving rapidly from left to right and fast enough to be not able to see. But the main factor is that it says it cant see the computer but there is residual display behind the message saying so. Since I cannot boot the computer to install drivers it must be something else perhaps in the Bios but ive verified its set to 4X AGP (which is max) especially since I was using AGP beforehand. Perhaps there is another setting I might be missing in the Bios?
ASUS A7V 133 4X AGP
768MB Ram
400 watt powersupply
KDS monitor "19"
Ah yes currect video card being used is a GForce 2 MX also agp

Cannot even see to boot to safe mode. Only thing that can be seen on the screen is the "cable plugged in?" and behind it the chaos indicating at least some activity. No readable text. Just the changes in the boot process are noticeable from the changes in the "chaos" color behind it. Text is there but its skewed severely and flys from left to right too fast to read. Swapped in prior card and works fine and while there lowered resolution to 640X480. Although the resolution shouldnt matter since the boot process and mem check all have the same behavior.

HP Recovery - Second CD not detecting

I am recovering HP G60 laptop with Vista Home Premium SP1 CD. During recovery, first CD is working fine but when it ask for second CD, it is not detecting second CD.
I ordered new CD from HP but getting the same issue. I tried the same thing couple of times but no success.
Any idea?

Hi:
If you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, you can make your own Vista installation disk.
Here's how:
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.

After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

Lenovo ThinkPad Helix Mini DisplayPort Monitor not Detected

My ThinkPad Helix does not detect the connection of a known good Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, VGA cable, and monitor.
Windows 8.1 Pro
Intel HD Graphics 4000 Driver 10.18.10.3958
Thanks for any troubleshooting tips.

Hi, Backupsonline
Before buying another adapter, I would just make sure that the system is fully up to date by means of drivers and BIOS. Here is the driver matrix for your machine, which lists all available updates for the system. Try downloading the latest versions for your devices and see if it helps.
Best,
Adam

Installed Leopard Update, Now Second Monitor Not Recognized

Is there any way to remove the 1.3 update? I now cannot use my second monitor and when I tried to use time machine, well you can guess what happened. The system froze as soon as I clicked on the icon.
I just switched to a Mac and I am starting to regret the decision.

Carl, try a couple things....
1) Startup your computer holding SHIFT down. This may take a while to startup. When it's done, simply restart again. Test your system.
2) Zap the PRAM by holding down CMD-SHIFT-P-R as your computer starts up. Release those keys when you hear the second startup chime. Then test your system again.
3) Repair Disk Permissions using DISK UTILITY in your Utilities folder.
4) Reset the System Memory Unit by simply shutting the computer down, unplugging EVERYTHING from the computer (specially the power cord) and let it set for 5-10 minutes. Then plug everything back in and restart.
It will not hurt to try these steps. It's worth a shot. Good luck!

L520 second HDD not detected by BIOS, why?

Hi everybody
It appears Schalli and I have same problem: a second hard drive (inserted in an aftermarket caddy) is not detected by BIOS. So you can not boot from 2nd hard drive.
But, if you start the OS (Windows or Linux or even DOS!), the second HDD is seen and works perfectly (no connection issues, full speed etc).
I tried several HDD, also SSD. Also tried removing internal HDD, leaving only HDD in the caddy.
BIOS is 1.20.
Can other users please verify?
Lenovo: why is this? Why doesn't BIOS detect the second hard drive?
Thanks!!!

Same with my machine. So I put my SSD into the original drive bay and moved my HD to my caddy.

X-fi Titanium Fatal1ty is not detected anymore, only the X-fi led is turned on

I think my sound card is death because is not being detected by any computer, only the X-Fi logo shows, is there a way to see if the card is really death?
I've tested in a different computer, in a different PCIe port but the card is not detected at all.
I disabled FireWire, internal NIC, removed other PCI cards and now I only have one PCIe video card, a wireless nic and the X-fi but is not detected, is there other way to see if its really death?

The draw is over now and the winners have been announced!
