[SOLVED] X11/Xrandr Dual Head problem

I'm having trouble getting my second monitor to display anything.

ive got the same gpu, and managed to get that done but without 3d effects, ive resorted to setting one screen below the next, and trained myself to go down when i need to use the right screen. once you get used to it, its not a big deal.
something else, check your xorg.0.log and see what fb size it is creating, i *think* virtual needs to be square. thats what ive got setup in my xorg.conf from my tinkering days.

  • Ati open source driver dual head problem

    I have an AMD FirePro M5950 video card in my laptop. Using the open source ATI driver I can't seem to get my dual monitor setup working and GDM won't even start. However KDM is working.
    Still, the problem I am having with KDM can be viewed in the following image.
    The display somehow starts a little left from the middle of the screen. When I continue moving the mouse to the right the mouse appears on the left part of the screen.
    How can this weird offset be fixed? Do some log files help, which one?

    append "nomodeset" in the bootloader, before booting, maybe that will fix the issue.

  • [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

    It's a work in progress, but for those who are interested I was able to get a dual-head setup (using xrandr and the Xinerama extensions) with the current Intel driver (not legacy) using the following:

    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!

  • Xrandr not listing dual head outputs

    I'm running into a little annoying problem with xrandr. It doesn't want to list my nvidia 8800gt's dual heads as different outputs.

    So it only lists "default" even though I have a second monitor plugged in over DVI (a TV actually). I know it's not a problem with output to the TV because if I specifically set up output in xorg.conf it works fine. However I would much prefer to enable and disable output to TV on an as-needed basis.

    Your dead right, it did work but now for some odd reason the virtual screen size is no longer large enough to accom' both screen.

    Cyrusm wrote:oh yeah, do you think you could post your xorg.conf
    I would love to but I do not have such a thing, I can post my Xorg.0.log if you would like to take a look.  I believe I am trusting HAL to auto configure each time so xorg.conf doesn't exist.  All seems like black magic to me but to date has worked well.
    Will I need to create an xorg.conf file, populate it and get it working to be able to use both screens as well as to be able to play video on VGA-0?
    I can duplicate LVDS onto VGA-0 but again video will not play on VGA-0.
    Thank you both so far with you help.  Would love to sort this out and if I need to get dirty with and xorg.conf file then so be it.

  • [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.

  • [SOLVED] Configure dual head with different resolutions xf86-video-ati

    I have 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 monitors which I would like to setup so that I have two displays (:0.0 and :0.1), i.e. can't drag a window to the other display, but can move the mouse from one screen to the next. The graphics card is Radeon HD 4850.
    At the moment I have one screen only, so I can't move the mouse from the first to the second screen, it is captive in the first screen.

    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

    Would still be interested to get a seperate display for each monitor working though.

  • [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.

    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!

    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

    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...

  • Xorg.conf , nvidia 96xx and dual head failure

    i cant get Xorg to work with nvidia driver at all.
    here is where i am.
    setup aurch linux [X]
    setup xserver with NV driver 1 head[X]
    setup dual head[]
    ok so i cant even get nvidia drivers to work or dual head on the NV driver.
    i dont have an xorg.conf setup but i have tried the xorg.conf from my fedora setup but it just black screened.
    here is my error log.

    Ive tried everything i could think of or what arch wiki could. I came to aurch linux to learn more about linux (fedora holds your hand to much.) but i dont think i can figure this one out on my own.

    serverman,
    let me see if I understand your situation.
    You are using the nvidia drivers and want to setup a dual screen with independent screens (?).
    Without a xorg.conf one screen should work out of the box with one screen.
    For the proprietary drivers you will need a minimal xorg.conf:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Configured Video Device"
    Driver "nvidia"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth 24
    EndSection
    This still has only one screen, but can you try it and tell what happens ?

  • 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.

  • Dual head setup (mach64 - ATI Rage Mobility)

    hello everyone!
    I want to use a new extra monitor I got recently, with my laptop, I use aweosme.
    I have installed:
    xf86-video-mach64 (recompiled with dri support)
    mach64-dri (from community)
    mach64drm (from AUR)
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mach64
    Still I can't get OpenGL to work:
    ismaelvc@toybox ~ $ glxinfo | egrep "direct rendering|OpenGL renderer"
    direct rendering: Yes
    OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on softpipe
    I don't really know if it got something to do with this but I post it anyway in case it is.
    xrandr doesnt detect the other monitor:
    ismaelvc@toybox ~ $ xrandr -q
    xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
    default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
    1024x768 87.0* 85.0 75.0 70.0 60.0 81.0
    832x624 75.0
    800x600 85.0 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0
    640x480 85.0 75.0 73.0 60.0
    720x400 85.0
    640x400 85.0
    640x350 85.0
    512x384 87.0 85.0 75.0 70.0 60.0
    416x312 75.0
    400x300 85.0 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0
    320x240 85.0 75.0 73.0 60.0
    360x200 85.0
    320x200 85.0
    320x175 85.0
    Still it displays exactly the same that gets displayed at my laptop.
    I used to had problems with the drivers, I needed both mach64 and radeon for it to detect the screen properly, until I created a "20-mach64.conf" with this:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver "mach64"
    Card "ATI Rage Mobility - Mach64"
    Option "DMAMode" "async"
    Option "ForcePCIMode" "false"
    Option "AgpMode" "2"
    Option "AgpSize" "32"
    Option "BufferSize" "2"
    Option "LocalTextures" "true"
    Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Module"
    #<Your modules>
    Load "glx"
    Load "dri"
    EndSection
    Section "DRI"
    Group "video" #change to any desired group to restrict access
    Mode 0660
    EndSection
    I have a doubt regarding the commented line that came as example in the mach64 wiki that reads <your modules>, I don't know what goes in there.
    Also I red this for some mach64 related xorg info:
    http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/ati5.html
    http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=201482
    The last one is for a cursor problem I have, but it wont get fixed, neither, anyway the default xcursor looks good in awesome, I switched to cli apps form many tasks, and use uzbl now! all this plus arch is now so minimmal I love it lol!
    I red in a post (not in this one) mach64 chips supported dual head, but I can't find it again, I will post it when I find it.
    Thanks in advance!
    EDIT: ok here it is, where it say its supported: I don't understand all the configs.

    Sorry to necrobump but I was seeing you get a lot of incorrect information on LinuxQuestions.
    The mach64 driver does NOT support dualhead. Some chips are capable of it but this feature has yet to be added to the driver. It is also not compatible with xrandr. The man page you linked to mentioning dualhead support is for xf86-video-ati. It is only accessible from the git history of xf86-video-mach64 because those drivers used to live in the same source tree.
    I can try to help with DRI if that's still not working for you.

  • Solaris 10 x86 w/ Matrox G450 dual head and xinerama

    I have solaris 10 x86 with matrox g450 dual head and x.org x-server. The problem is to get xinerama work. When xinerama isn't enabled, two different desktops work well - or, they work, but they are pretty useless because I can't move windows between them. So, I have to enable xinerama, but it seems, that neither JDS/Gnome nor CDE haven't been built including support for xinerama.
    When I enable xinerama, X.org-x-server starts fine and there's dtlogin. When I login and it passes execution to gnome, it fails and x-server restarts. Same with CDE. But if I put 'exec /opt/sfw/bin/xterm to my .dtprofile', it starts ok and I can do some testing..

    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line<br />
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    If I start /opt/sfw/bin/fvwm2, it works fine too, so the problem seems to be gtk/glib/gnome and CDE. One odd thing is that, normal CDE-programs, like dtterm, dtcm, dtcalc etc. works fine. But dtwm doesn't work in xinerama mode.
    So, would anyone have any suggestion what could I do? Do I have to recompile my own GNOME, or could Sun do something to the next Solaris 10 update? (As far as I understood, current Solaris 10 release doesn't include zfs yet, so there will be update soon, I think)

    Hello,
    I'm also using a g450.
    Now I'm trying for 5 days to get it work with xinerama under Xorg and/or
    Xsun.
    Can anybody tell me how to get it work ?
    I would like to see a working xorg.conf.
    (I don't know how to configure 2 screens for Xsun. Mybe someone can give my his configuration file(s) ?)
    Thanks to all who will help me !!!

  • Kdemod 4.2 and dual head

    I am trying to setup dual monitor in kde 4.2. I ran the command
    xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0
    but it doesn't work, I get an error msg
    Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
    . Doesn't kde 4 support dual head?

    what videocard are you using?
    I have kde4.2 running smoothly on my nvidia-card with twinview
    It's not yet perfect but it runs fine, there are still some problems if you want to use panels on both screens.
    Also watch out with gtk-qt, here there are problems with gvim, openoffice, ... if you use it select the gtk style kde4-oxygen, then everything works fine

  • [SOLVED]Xorg.conf, mouse config problem

    The Rapoo M765 mouse can not work properly under normal mouse configuration.
    The mouse goes beyond controll when config as below:
    hacksign@XSign [14:13:13] : ~
    >> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
    #Section "InputClass"
    # Identifier "Mouse2"
    # MatchProduct "RAPOO RAPOO 2.4G Remote Mouse"
    # MatchIsPointer "yes"
    # MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    # Driver "mouse"
    # Option "Protocol" "auto"
    # Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    # Option "Buttons" "7"
    # Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
    #EndSection
    When there is no any configuration, the mouse can work abnormally. Movement and right/left click work fine, but I can not use scroll wheel,and the "go forward"&"go backward" mouse key can not work too.
    (I know Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is the configuration of scroll wheel emulation.)
    The real problem is 'mouse beyond controll',the cursor goes crazyly on screen ....
    I guess it is something wrong of ButtonMapping option. But when I tried to get button number from command xev,when scroll wheel scrolles, I get something below(the scroll wheel movement is identified as a key event~):

    Thanks for reply !
    change Driver 'mouse' to Driver 'evdev',solved cursor goes beyond controll problem.
    but I still can not use scroll button and 'go forward'&'go backward' button.
    (BTW:evdev_drv.so is from local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint, and local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint package is from AUR)
    I think, maybe something wrong with my button number mapping, but I still can not get scroll button number with 'xev' command....

    olive wrote:In the config file you mentioned, all is commented; do you mean that you have problems when you have uncommented it? You should not use the mouse driver (old deprecated driver) but evdev. Try to remove xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard (same as before, this is deprecated and handled by evdev) and remove also a "joystick" driver if you have it (I have had problem with it conflicting with the evdev driver).

Maybe you are looking for
