Won't detect second screen

My xorg.conf can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/m25cafd6d
My problem is that i can get mergedFB working, but the auto monitor detection always fails and DRI/AIXGL get's disabled.

unable to open a program on my laptop because it keeps trying to open in the other screen
That happens to me with PowerShell on my Surface RT. No matter how many times I move it to the Surface display it opens off screen (as if it had originally last been open on the big monitor when I had it attached.) I can't use the keyboard
shortcut which would bring it back when it would have been attached (e.g. Win-CursorRight) because then it is not seen as being on another monitor. However, what I can do--as always, even before multi-screen windows were available--is use the window's
Move command. E.g. with keyboard focus on the hidden window you can just press Alt-Space M. Or you can right-click on its thumbnail in the Taskbar for the same effect. You then need to use a cursor key to engage the mouse pointer with
the window's Title bar and change its icon to drag it back. If you don't have mouse you just have to remember which direction to bring it back and keep pressing on the arrow key. It's more amusing than irritating when you know how to work around
it but I suppose if it was annoying enough you could always hook up your other monitor again and then move the windows back to the primary display.

ATI Radeon 4870 won't detect second display

ATI Radeon 4870 won't detect second display I have a sony that come up as a sdm-hs95p and a asus that i want to connect they both have vga and both have conveters vga to dvi and on the asus it also has a dvi to mini dp because on the graphics card it has dvi and mini dp

You can't use more than one converter per display.
You need to get single converter that connects directly from the Mac port to the display.

Mac won't detect second superdrive (pics)

so, here's the story. i flashed my macs superdrive (both of them) and after that one of them was just completely gone. when i go into system profiler and go under hawrdware and into ATA, it detects both drives, but when i go into Disc Burning, i only see one.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
any and all help would be greatly appreciated as i can't burn discs right now. thanks.

thank you for all of your responces, but it sounds like the easiest method to fixing this is just replacing my drives.
1. Are both drives set with CS selected?
I'm not sure what CS stands for. Sorry
2. Did both drives come with the Mac Pro?
Both drives are stock.
3. Can you provide a link to the flasher and the firmware you used?
http://www.hardmac.com/articles/62/page3/
4. What command did you use to make the flash work?
http://www.hardmac.com/articles/62/page3/
5. Did you dump the old firmware to oldfirm.bin so you
could go back to it?
yes, i did. and i went back and tried dumping the oldfirm.bin but when i try and do that, the terminal says that there is an error. i suspect that there is an error because it can't see the second drive, it only sees one.
like i said earlier, it is my own fault for messing around with this awesome machine and 30 bucks for a new drive is a small price to pay for learning not to mess with things that you aren't too sure how to mess with. it's a shame i can't fix these drives though, i didn't even get to burn a single disc.

Can't detect second screen on macbook pro

I have a macbook pro and when i plug in the vga adapter to my computer it doesnt work, but it does work with other computers.

Sorry i was frusterated and just said that.
I have a 15 inch macbook pro from late 2009
I have the mini display port VGA adapter going to a VGA cord going to the tv. I know the cords work just fine because they worked on another computer. The problem is when I go to system preferences<displays and click detect displays, nothing happens. My computer wont even recognize an outside display.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck

Second screen no more detected

HelloAfter installing Windows 10 on Yoga 2 Pro, the second screen, connected on a Thinkpad usb 3 dock is no more detected. Have an idea ?Pascal

This has been solved by installing nes displaylink driver.Pascal

My HP Touchsmart 610 screen is blank when I switch it on. only less that a second screen flash.

when I turn on my computer hp touchsmart 610 desktop the screen has only less than a second flash and then it's blank and I can't see anything. I used some instructions like pushing f10 key for 5 seconds and reseting the bios and blo blo but it won't work. I also removed cd or usb but it still not working. plesae somebody help.

Hi Fanoos,
Although this post is a couple years old, I figured I would give it a reply anyway just so other people with similar issues have a little more up to date info.
AugyTek is actually the name of my repair shop, and this is a "fun" problem that I see all the time.
Regarding specifically the Touchsmart 610 system, when you see the flash like that, there is an easy way to tell exactly where the problem is originating from.
First, check your power supply "brick". It should be warm to the touch with it plugged in and machine running. If it feels like it is going to burn your hand, your PS is probably the culprit. I recommend taking it to your local technical shop, or using a voltmeter if you have one to see exactly what it is putting out. It should be 19v give or take a couple tenths of a volt. Anything more than a couple of tenths off and your power supply is probably the culprit, and may have done some additional damage to the PC itself.
If everything is good there, now it's time to assess internally. Power off the machine, disconnect the power supply, hold the power button in for a couple of seconds until the green light on the back is no longer lit. Follow the instructions on the HP website to removing both the left and right covers on the back of the PC. (Take proper precautions for static electricity.)
Take out the Hard Drive and the RAM. replace the covers, but no need to screw them in. Plug your power supply back in and power the machine on.
You should get one short and one long beep and nothing should display on the screen. This is testing for proof of life from the board. If you get no beeps, your board is malfunctioning and sadly with these it often is easier and cost effective to just get a new machine than replace the board.
If you get beeps, the board is fine and you need to replace one stick of ram after powering off properly again and then start it up. You should be able to see the "no boot media" message it displays because the system will halt.
If the lettering is fuzzy, diminished, in a low resolution, or looks anything other than normal, the likely cause is video related. You now have to determine to what extent the video is malfunctioning.
(Yes, I know that you probably arrived at this conclusion already that the something was messed in the video/display area, but I can't tell you how many times I have asked people if they have tested for other things and they say no or how do you do that? By ruling out other malfunctions, you arrive with the correct solution faster.)
You can power the machine down and remove the back covers and carefully reseat ALL micro style cables that you can see. There should be 3 in the top left, 2 on the inverter (the thing with the cover), and then 4 in the top right that are kind of hard to manage. These cables are all related to power, with some related to video and the touchscreen itself.
So now boot the system up normally, if you still have the one second screen, then attempt to plug in USB devices, insert a CD/DVD, and if you have one handy, use a USB to VGA adapter. If any of these things do not initalize/work properly with the typical windows sound when you plug them in, the likely cause is your motherboard, related to power issues.
If your board is not able to route enough power through it past the graphical chip, into the inverter, and the LCD, power USB devices, etc., this is a tell tale sign that your machine has issues supplying enough power to all these things. This is why you will see the one second screen everytime you turn the screen on or wake it out of standby, because there isn't enough or consistent power to keep the system running normally.
Because it is fairly cost prohibitive and time consuming to replace the board, you can pretty much write off the system.
Now if your USB devices and Optical drive work fine and everything initializes, you may be able to get away with replacing the inverter. These parts do go bad, and the inverter, which sits on top of the optical drive in the system is naturally exposed to heat from the DVD drive and is a really bad design flaw. Replacing this may solve your problem.
If it is replaced and you still have the same issue, likely your problem is with the LCD screen itself, and again... not really worth it to replace it.
If it is your board and power issues, if you are hell bent on repairing this, and you are familiar with how to reflow a board, or know a professional that can attempt it, you certainly can give it a whirl. DO NOT attempt the unprofessional ways to reflow a board as you see on some videos. Whereas these methods can work, you need to have an intricate knowledge of electronics and temperature effects on circutry to even warrant attempting them.
Some people say a hair dryer will work, but the problem is then you dont know exactly how much heat you are at temperature wise, and a hair dryer will auto cool and heat it's coils as it sees fit to maintain it's own stability, where as a genuine heat gun will not. Again, if you don't have experienced knowlege in reflowing boards, I wouldn't recommend doing it.
By reflow, I am referring to reflowing the solder in the board. Unless a visible malfunctioned blown or bulged capacitor is present, reflowing the solder to it's original paths is done by the way of keeping the board level, and gradually and evenly heating the board up to a temperature to where solder melts. Solder will naturally go back into it's original form at a certain temperature and reseal any cracks or breaks in the solder, thereby repairing the flow of electricity for that certain component. This is also assuming the component that has the solder is not damaged as well.
This process is best left to professionals with proper equipment, because you can in fact to irrepariable damage to the board if you are inexperienced. Being careful will not save you in this instance.
The one thing you want to remember with All in ones, and especially touch screens, is that they generate an AMAZING amount of heat. Any blockage from dust or covered vent ports can quickly lead to your machines demise. Due to the design of any All in one, heat has been, and probably always will be an issue with these units.

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?

Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
Troubleshooting an external hard drive
> Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
> Restart the computer
> Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
> Plug it into a different USB port
If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
Checking a disk with Disk Utility
To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
> Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
> Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
> Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.

MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

dohdoh1985, I have the exact same problem also! I recently bought a 42" RCA LCD TV. I connected my MacBook Pro to my TV using a Dynex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that I got from BestBuy. It worked great until I upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4 and then it suddenly stopped working. Same TV, same settings, same cables, same adapter. Nothing changed since the last time it worked except that my OS was upgraded to 10.6.4, so i am assuming that is the culprit. The symptoms are EXACTLY the same as what dohdoh1985 described; when I plug in the TV, the laptop display flashes (3 times) as though it is detecting an external display and the picture on the TV briefly goes from blue to black for about 1 second then back to blue. The TV does not appear in the display menu / control panel and there is no sign that the MacBook detected it. I went through the usual troubleshooting steps (reset PRAM, checked connections, tv settings, etc) but nothing worked. Other HDMI sources (i.e. Blu-ray player) work fine on the TV using the same HDMI cable on the same port so there is nothing wrong with the cable, the TV or the TV's input settings.
Meanwhile, I can still connect my MacBook to my external ViewSonic monitor at work without any problems. It's just the TV that's not working.
I cancelled my cable subscription a while ago since I only watch shows online nowadays and this was my only way of watching TV shows, so I'm quite upset.
Apple, please help!

HT3986 Second screen not recognized under windows7

I have windows 7 64 bits running ok But I it can not recognize a second screen (that MAC OSX does easily), the standard windows control pannel just see the macAir screen and cannot detect the other.
Anyone with similar problems?
Any solution available?
Thanks

I only have one optical drive, so I can't check it out, but you may want to try this:
Remove the eject icon from the menu bar, dragging it out by holding down .
Make sure both drives have a cd/dvd loaded.
Restore the eject icon by double clicking /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Eject.menu
Any difference??

Restart killed my second screen.

Ok, basicallly I've got two 19" Vison screens and they used to work perfectly fine. Then one day, yesterday, I decide to restart my computer because it was acting funny (safari crashed like 6 times in a row).
After the restart my second screen only runs at 640x480 resolution. It gets worse, when I hit "detect displays" the second screen goes black and isn't recognized at all.
I tried going into preferences on both the screen and system preferences, but the screen doesn't have any option to fix that and system preferences only has one option for the resolution. That being 640x480.
What now? Thanks much in advance

double bump ! Same problem here with a LCD...
The screen model isn't recognized. The screen was just working perfectly, till I had to change it and put a new one longger (the old one didn't work anymore). Now, it detect the screen like standard "VGA Monitor" and doesn't display the right resolutions/frequencies asked by the screen to work properly. I must run with 1024*768 instead of 1344*768 required (and what it was before cable changing...)
Is this because of the cable ? What kind of cable should I buy ?
Thanks for the help you may give.
Regards.
