[SOLVED] Dual head acting weird
Hello,
Today I started sorting out about dual head. I configured xorg.conf as said on the wiki.
The strange thing is, my second display acts as my primary display and my first display acts as second display.
Also display the second display my console, when I start X, the display still act as first display .
Here's my Xorg.conf (http://pastebin.com/F7X5fs2e)
Thank you!

We need hardware info, also what drivers you're running, what desktop environment (if any), and if you're wanting compositing or not.
Differences in hardware cause massive differences in how you configure Xorg.

[SOLVED] Dual monitor acting weird on Fluxbox after system upgrade
Hello.
I'm using Fluxbox on Xorg. I have two monitors and for more than one year my setup has been this in ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 1920x0
exec startfluxbox
Now, I just upgraded my packages (fluxbox and some xorg-* packages were upgraded, like xorg-server, as well as xf86-video-ati) and, although the dual monitor setup works, it seems like each monitor is not recognized individually. My Fluxbox toolbar spans on both monitors horizontally (whereas it used to reside on the left one) and when I maximize a window, it's maximized on both monitors (whereas it used to be maximized on one monitor only, the closest).
Before reverting the upgrade, anybody knows why this is happening?
Thanks,
Phil

I've enabled logging. Here's the full log of 1.3.5-3:

Notice the -RANDR and -XINERAMA lines? I bet that is what's causing this.

[solved] Dual head / Xinerama / xrandr setup with Intel 945 & dwm
Recently came into possession of a 17" LCD and would like to use it in tandem with the internal LCD of my netbook. Clone works with xrandr, as does extended mode to an extent. The problem is that in extended mode (or spanning, or whatever you want to call it) the smaller screen has dead space which isn't respected by dwm (or any other WM I've tried). So I'd like to setup dual X sessions (aka Zaphod mode?), each running their own instance of dwm--I don't need to move windows from screen to screen so that's not a concern.
Has anyone had luck accomplishing this with the current intel driver? The closest I've gotten so far is a black screen/blinking cursor which drops back to a login prompt after a few seconds. I see a ton of related topics on Google about this and most of them are unresolved. If I can get something put together I'll document it in the dwm and/or intel wikis.
Specs:
* Acer Aspire One AOD150 with Intel GMA945 @ 1024x600
* LCD @ 1280x1024

Until I have a chance to write a fancier script I've added the following to ~/.xinitrc:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600
xrandr --output VGA1 --below LVDS1 --mode 1280x1024
The first command ensures the netbook screen takes the proper resolution and the second enables the external LCD. If I startx when the LCD is disconnected then the netbook screen is the only screen enabled (no dead space).
Caveats
1. With mplayer in fullscreen it appears as 1024x600 even when opened on the 1280x1024 screen.
2. The external LCD cannot be placed left or right of the netbook screen because it would exceed the 2048 virtual resolution which segfaults X with the latest intel driver. Virtual cannot be set higher than 2048 in either direction without segfaulting X; though I imagine this will be addressed in future versions of the intel driver.
Many thanks to mzapotoczny!

[Solved]Dual-Head Setup broken after last Kernelupgrade
Hello,
Yesterday I upgraded my from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and was kind of surprised when my second display didn't want to show a picture anymore. When booting everything looks good when sudenly one display gets black. It doesn't matter which Desktop I start, even when switching VT only one display is active, so it's not a Xorg-bug.
Nothing shows up in journalctl oder dmesg and as far as the system is concerned everything works as expected. Everything worked as soon as I downgraded the Kernel to 4.0.2.
Enabling testing and installing 4.0.4 didn't work either.
So my question is, does anyone else experience this behaviour?
thanks in advance
- Radeon HD 77xx with open source drivers
- two displays DVI (primary) and HDMI (secondary)
Edit:
I Just checked the kernel from today in testing (4.0.4-2) and saw something really interesting during boot.

Last edited by raygenbogen (2015-06-09 14:34:18)I think I kinda 'solved' the problem by enabling early KMS in mkinitcpio.conf and switched my first Display to the second DVI-Port. It works now, but I don't know if this could be labeled as 'solved' since it's a pretty specific solution and propably doesn't apply to anyone else.
Edit. The most recent Kernel 4.0.5 in Testing solved the problem for me.

[Solved] Catalyst graphical glitches with dual head setup
Hello all, having a weird issue with my dual monitor setup where graphical glitches make my primary monitor completely unusable. The Tear Free feature of the proprietary catalyst driver is what seems to be causing it:
Tear Free enabled:
Tear Free disabled:
I can safely enable it with one monitor disabled also. The issue is that without Tear Free enabled, I'm experiencing some serious screen tearing when watching videos and playing games.
My video card is the XFX HD 7970 Double D and I'm using the latest version of catalyst (14.4), installed from Vi0L0's repo. The monitors are the same model with the same specs (1920x1200 @60Hz). I definitely used to be able to use Tear Free with my dual head setup at most a month ago, so some update at some point must have broken it. I temporarily switched back to the open source driver before I had found Tear Free to be the culprit and the performance is still hardly comparable.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Downgrading catalyst to 14.3 seems to have done the job. Thanks for the suggestion, marking as solved.

It doesn't look as if xrandr can help as it reports a maximum virtual desktop of 1680x1680.
Because the two monitors are different resolutions I don't know if a single screen is the answer.
I used to have two displays/screens configured to two different resolutions matching the monitors using the catalyst driver but can't get it working using the xf86-video-ati driver.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Willem

Would still be interested to get a seperate display for each monitor working though. -
Losing network connection and NIC acts weird from warm/hot weather/temperatures?
Hello.
Is there a known issue on MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboards' onboard RealTek RTL8168C (P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC network disconnecting and acting weird during warm/hot weather?
I noticed lately and back on 1/11/2009 night when weather got warm/hot (e.g., my room can get over 85F degrees, but lately it has been 80F degrees), my network would lose its connection. See http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5580/screenshots.gif for a few SpeedFan's sensor readings when the incidents occurred. I have never seen this happen when the weather is cooler (60-70F degrees in my room).
I also think this only happens if I am using the PC lightly (nothing intensive) like watching fullscreen videos (video overlay), surfing the Web, etc. I don't see any errors or evidences that it happens when idled (e.g., asleep or out). Uptime doesn't seem to matter since I have seen days to 3.5 hours.
I tried upgrading network driver twice (e.g., Realtek_XP_5714_0219 from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ...), disabling Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (XP's disabled already), releasing and renewing IP address (works, but still no network -- can't even ping my router!), unplugging and replugging the cat5 cable (do see the network port lights on), touching the network jack and hardware inside and outside of the case (not hot), trying another cat5 cable and a network port on a switch instead router's), changing from "Minimal Power Management" to full power (no underclocking/slowing down when idled), etc.
During the disconnections, I tried:

I also noticed the disconnections usually start with red X icon in my taskbar with its bubble and then later the long disconnection even though no red X (1 GB and connected). If I were to disconnect the cat5 cable from NIC, then it wouldn't even detect it is missing the cable!
The only way to fix this was to reboot (best way and last longer) OR disable network connection and re-enable it (Windows XP's Network Connections) or the NIC itself (Device Manager), but that doesn't always last long (maybe a minute). Example of my pings right after disabling and re-enabling NIC:

Force your NIC to run at 100Mbps full duplex and see how it goes.
Check your router / switch ports as well as cables.
I will try 100 Mbps if it happens again. So far, it hasn't occurred after installing the driver supplied by MSI's Web site and not RealTek's Web site. The room temperatures even got warmer like 83F degrees.
As for router and switch, what am I checking for? Other computers didn't have any problems. As for cat5 cables, I already tried another one like I said in my original post. -
Frozen system when booting with dual-head setup (updates)
Hi guys,
I made a fresh install a couple of weeks ago and I configured my system for a dual-head setup following the wiki. I activated KMS and added radeon to the kernel parameters.
My xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DVI-0"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
Option "Position" "0 0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-0"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
Option "Position" "1920 0"
EndSection
I was having random freezes for a couple of days, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. I hard rebooted my computer when it froze and it could boot normally that second time.
But after yesterday, last update to the open source drivers xf86-video-ati (1:7.5.0-2) and lib32-mesa-libgl (10.5.2-1), my system doesn't boot unless I disconnect one of the screens. When only one screen it's connected everything is fine. If I plug the second screen, it pops up the KDE service to configurate the second screen but as soon I press 'apply the chages' my system freezes and I had to hard reboot.
I've tried all possible combinations usingt different outputs from the screens, getting the same results. Two of them connected --> freezes after grub loading. One connected --> boot Ok, but as soon as I plug the second one and I apply changes, freezes.
I found one configuration that doesn't freeze my system. When I plug the second screen, as I said, KDE service automatically pops up. Before I was changing the positions of the screen, one beside the other one, and my system freezes when I apply the changes. If I just left the default configuration (one screen in top of the other), it doesn't freeze my system. After that, I can rearrange the screens, as I need them, and it doesn't freeze.

Downgrading catalyst to 14.3 seems to have done the job. Thanks for the suggestion, marking as solved.

[SOLVED] Dual-Screen Setup with ATI Catalyst
I'm having a beast of a time trying to set up X to work on my two screens.
Screen 1 is a 23" screen connected with a DVI cable. My preferred resolution for this one is 1920x1080. Screen 2 is a 17" screen (4:3) connected with a VGA cable. My preferred resolution for this one is 1280x960.
I tried using "aticonfig --initial=dual-head". This does not produce a working xorg.conf file. Specifically, my smaller monitor simply complains about not being able to display the given video mode. Running xrandr (from the main screen) shows only that output as being "connected" - the rest of them (including the CRT outputs which seem to correspond to the VGA port) as "disconnected".
I've spent about 5 hours searching for an answer to this, and the only ones I seem to be able to find are nvidia-specific.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 or 4870 - I honestly forget which, although the drivers should be the same. I'm using the catalyst driver from the AUR, because I'd like to have 3D acceleration.
I've read through the entire xorg.conf man page, and tried a few things from there (including writing my own xorg.conf from scratch). Unfortunately, this seems incredibly useless, as the man page doesn't list any of the options that I seem to need (for example, I've read about and tried the "PairModes" option under "Device").
I can probably eventually figure this out, but it would be nice to have a few pointers. For example:
Should I have one or two "Device" sections in xorg.conf? Should I have one or two "Screen" sections in xorg.conf? Where can I find a full list of possible "Option" keys, at least for the Device section? Should I be using Xinerama (I've tried with and without, to no avail).
EDIT: I solved this by using the aticonfig tool some more, and not by messing around with xorg.conf. Specifically, the command:
aticonfig --initial=dual-head --xinerama=on --resolution=0,1920x1080 --resolution=1,1280x960 --screen-layout=right
I'll leave this here in the hopes that it can help someone else.
Last edited by Tempest (2011-08-06 02:28:41)If you aren't playing games, it may be worth it to check out xf86-video-ati. Then you can configure your displays the standard way with xrandr.

Help with Spry, acting weird in Mac Os 10.5 10.6, 10.7 and Ios Devices
I use Dreamweaver CS4 for designing our school website. The url is http://www.stpiusxschool.org
The menu bar on the left is built with a Spry Asset, it is to expand to different choices on some of the lines. The issue started about a month ago, if I click on the first item that should expand out (Parent Resources) it will not expand out, then I choose the second one (Student Resources) it expands out, I go back to Parent Resources and it will expand....this happen on Mac 10.5 and Ios Devices (Ipad, and Iphone)
On Mac 10.6 menu bars will never expand out.
I have tried many things, I have ran the Spry Updater and uploaded those files. I have built a page outside of my site, it appears to work ok, then copied that Spry Asset folder into the site, no luck.
I have built a second spry on a test page within the site, and tried it out, it doesn't seem to work correct either. It can be accessed off the main page mentioned above, scroll to the bottom and click on test, that is just what it is a test page.
School is starting soon and this site is used a lot for resources during the day.
I have called Adobe and got no where with them but that even took hours.
If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
By the way, I know nothing about coding itself.
ThanksYou have got two problems
The menu is acting weird in Mac as well as on PC
The menu does not behave in IOS devices
The solutions
Add the DOCTYPE Declaration to your document(s)
Replace the current SpryMenuBar for an IOS friendly MenuBar
1. You can add the HTML5 document type as follows, making sure that there are no blank lines before <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>St Pius X School des moines iowa</title>
The title already existsin your document. I put it there so that it is easier to see where the rest goes.
2. There is a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 available here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544

Lumia 720: Power and camera button act weird
Hi,
My Nokia Lumia 720 is acting weird.
The camera button doesn't work and so does the power button.
However if I press the volume down and the power button simultaneously the button does work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've already brought the phone back to the default settings.
I'm running the latest developer preview if that matters.

Nouveau graphical tearing, dual-head setup
I currently experience tearing while using the Nouveau drivers for my NVidia card. I experienced the same (or a similar) tearing issue while using the proprietary drivers, which, along with the inherent incompatibility with most of the linux graphics stack, led me to switch to Nouveau.
I'm using the 3D support from nouveau-dri along with xf86-video-nouveau and the most recent Gnome 3 build in the official repositories.
I have a dual-head setup with one 1024x768 IBM monitor to the left of a 1920x1080 Dell monitor. Both report 60Hz vertical refresh rate in their configuration menus.
So far, my attempts to solve this problem have consisted of the following steps:
1. Use a minimal xorg.conf and configure everything using the integrated Gnome display settings utility. The minimal xorg.conf was as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
EndSection
2. Enable/disable the GLXVBlank flag in xorg.conf.
I do not experience the same issue when booted to Windows 7, using the most recent official NVidia drivers.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on this issue, it is quite frustrating to boot into Windows to watch videos without horizontal breaks in every frame. Thanks!
Output from xrandr --current is as follows:

Other information can be provided on request.Hello. I have the same problem. Not just on Arch. I've had this problem with many distros, graphics cards, and drivers across the board. Installing the proprietary nvidia driver fixes the video tearing (vsync) issue for me. However; A) it's Linux, I don't want to use proprietary anything (otherwise I'd be on a Mac); and B) the proprietary driver will not flip my display to portrait anyway.
I basically have the same setup as Meyermagic. One GeForce 8600 GT, Two monitors (identical acers) 1680x1050 (oriented in portrait so 1050x1680 if you like), using open source Nouveau driver, created a minimal xorg file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia card"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
EndSection
Both monitors have a refresh rate of 60Hz. I still get really bad tearing as I drag windows across the screens.
Again, I've had this issue with almost every Linux box I've built (the only time this is not even remotely an issue is on my Thinkpad T400 using the Intel graphics). I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong or I've just had bad luck because it is nearly impossible to find any support for this on any forum anywhere. Anything I do find is either a thread like this where someone asked the question and simply never got a response. Or it is some out-of-date forum that give you 10 ways to modify the xorg.conf none of which make any sense or don't work. Not to mention that xorg.conf is now depreciated anyways.
Seriously, even if there is a wiki that concisely explains in excruciating detail how to actually modify the xorg conf files then I could figure it out for myself but I can't find that anywhere which makes me feel really stupid because I know it has to be out there. If there isn't an xorg wiki or xorg.com site or something that explains how to use the thing then I'm not sure I want to live on this planet anymore.
If anyone can help in any way please do. -
[S] Latest Xorg crashes on dual head system when web browser is opened
Due to the long Subject line I abbreviated, the issue is solved but I would still like it if someone could answer my question if someone knows why
After updating Xorg and the Radeon drivers on my dual head system opening any kind of web browser causes Xorg to crash. Any other application: Dolphin, Kopete, Amarok, urxvt open and run just fine with no issues from Xorg (which is baffling me). I have a bunch of single head systems that use ATI video cards that don't have this issue, like the one I am currently on that has Chrome open with four tabs.
I caused a couple of these crashes and grabbed /var/log/Xorg.0.log, can be viewed from here http://sprunge.us/bNZC, as well as grabbed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf file, which is here http://sprunge.us/gbNW. SLiMs log file has a little bit more in it as far as errors go, http://sprunge.us/UjVK, mostly how it is trying to load VDPAU which if I remember correctly that is a Nvidia thing is it not? There are also errors how it can't load the RANDR extension. Anyone have any helpful pointers of solving this?
Package details:
xorg-server: 1.12.0-1
xorg-xinit: 1.3.2
xorg-utils: 7.6-8
xorg-server-utils: 7.6-3
xf86-video-ati: 6.14.3-2
ati-dri: 8.0.1-2
udev: 181-2
kernel: 3.2.9-1
Last edited by vendion (2012-03-14 12:10:18)It seams that my 10-monitor.conf file was causing the issue, why I am not sure... and it would be nice to know what the problem with it was, but after moving that file out of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory and restarting X11 and using xrandr to get my screens setup the way I like them to be X11 no longer crashes when a web browser is opened. I wonder if this will also solve my issue of Awesome randomly crashing after long periods of inactivity...

Dual-head with Radeon HD 2400LE not working/behaving strangely
I have a Radeon HD 2400LE video card. and I'm attempting to set up dual-head with a 17" (1280x1024) scree and a 24" (1920x1200) screen. I originally tried fglrx, and it worked mostly, but caused partial lockups every few hours (the mouse cursor would move, but didn't seem to pass any events to anything - even hover wouldn't work). I'd like to use the radeonhd driver in any case, and I'm currently trying it from git/AUR, version 20090116-1. I'll post my xorg.conf here shortly, once I've cleaned it up a bit. Anyhow, I'm running KDE 4.2, and the display settings list VGA (my second monitor), DVI-digital (my first monitor), DVI-analog (the same port), and TV (S-Video - not used). However, clicking "Identify Outputs" displays the VGA output properly, but the DVI-digital output indicator is shown halfway off the top-left corner of the VGA-connected screen. Enabling the DVI monitor's output does something, because the monitor recognizes that it's connected, but it won't display anything, and changing the DVI settings causes various weird issues with the VGA-connected screen. I'm not using Xinerama, as I was planning on doing the whole thing with KDE and the help of XRandR. I could really use some help with this, as I've been fighting with dual-head all week.
ThanksHere is my xorg.conf, it sounds like you are trying to acheive a similar setup to what I have, maybe you'll find this helpful
let me know if you have anyquestions on it.
