Xorg.conf - Multi Monitor Issue

I have read that using nvidia-settings to configure X does not work very well. After trying it myself and being unable to get it to work proprly, I've tried my hand at writing my xorg.conf from scratch using the info on the wiki. I'm having issues and wonder if anyone could assist with telling me how i'm supposed to define the screen properly to SererLayout.
I have two LCD monitors:
Left is 1680x1050+0+150, "DFP-0"
Right is 1600x1200+0+0, "CRT-1"
I'm not sure if I should be using twin view or not but I do not need Xinerama. Can anyone please advise on how I should proceed?

I cannot seem to get this working with nvidia properly set within xorg.conf... funny thing is I can run the xrandr script upon login and it resets my screens perfectly, though it feels like i'm cheating this way.
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x150 --rotate normal --output DVI-I-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off
Sometimes your window manager can do this for you. Or a utility such as arandr. Nothing wrong with this method. You could shorten it to
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --output DVI-I-1 --auto --right-of/--left-of <whichever>
Under the Monitor section you would try:
Name the monitors the way X calls them (here DFP-0 and CRT-1) or check the Xorg.0.log file to show what it does with them.
Then under one of the monitor sections, you could add
Option "RightOf"/"LeftOf" "<other monitor>"

Xorg.conf multiple monitors different refresh rates

I have two monitors on my setup, with my primary montor being to the right of my secondary. They both have resolution 1920x1080. I'm trying to get my primary monitor to run at 120 Hz but it's only doing 60. My secondary monitor is a different model that can only do 60 Hz.
This is my xorg.conf

Multi monitor issues with resolution(?)

At a customer I have got a really strange and annoying problem. The customer has got a Hyper-V VM with 2012 R2 Server as a RDS server aka Terminal Server.
One user has got issues with his multi monitor setup. The connection settings seems to be OK. It is set to full screen and the checkbox for the multi monitor configuration is enabled. Theoretically this works because the user sees a correct setup with one
primary display and one secondary display. The settings itself are correct.
1. Primary display: 1680*1050
2. Secondary display: 27" 1920*1080
The display settings on the client are nearly the same except that the numbers of the two monitors are different (those numbers you get when you click identify at the resolution change window). On the Windows 7 client the primary display
number 2 and the 27" has got the number 1. On the Terminal Server the primary display has got the number 1 and the 27" display has got the number 2. But the corresponding resolution at the display number is correct.
Now the problem. Everything seems fine, the desktop is expended. But when the user is "touching" the top or bottom edge of the screen the display is scrolling (in full screen) - like in a 3D game scrolling over a map. The user told me that
both screens are scrolling equally at the same time. I am not sure but the user told me that if he is going to the bottom the CLIENT task bar appears. Changing the task bar of the client to fixed the user told me that the task bar will always show up. - Strange
that CTRL + ALT + BREAK does not work.
I tried to press CTRL + ALT + BREAK twice, changing the resolution to a fixed value and back to full screen again, changing the primary display to the new 27" monitor, adding smart sizing:i:1 to rdp file and upgrading the Intel HD
4600 laptop graphic drivers (must be downloaded from Lenovo :/). NOTHING helped :(.
But this strange behavior does not exist on the client. Opening two programs (simple notepad e.g.) on each display and maximize them and moving the mouse the screen borders won't show this problem. It only exist on the remote session.
Now the "funny" part. If I connect with Team Viewer to the client the problem disappears as long as I am connected. If I disconnect the problem shows up again.

Hi,
This is most likely a problem with the local machine's graphics driver and monitor configuration. I would suggest trying different things like removing and re-installing the display adapter and its drivers, removing the second monitor/restarting/adding
the second monitor back, adjusting the multi-monitor settings in display properties (changing between extending the desktop to the second monitor and not), undocking/restarting/docking, changing between different modes using Fn key on laptop (if laptop), etc.
The behavior under Team Viewer is likely because the graphics configuration is different when the driver is active.
I wish I could give you more precise instructions on how to resolve the issue. I have seen this behavior (panning desktop, multi-monitor config not exactly right) probably 3 times over the last 5 years, always with a laptop, and I had to "play"
with the settings before it finally went back to normal. The instances I have seen it occur did not involve Remote Desktop specifically.

Does improper xorg.conf damage monitor instantly or over time?

Self explanatory; I've read that improper settings in xorg.conf can damage your monitor. Is this something that still applies with new monitors? If so, what settings may do it (other than vertical and horizontal refresh rates)? Lastly, would improper settings ruin the monitor slowly over time, or in one hit the first time you start X?
Cheers.

A friend of mine had problems like that with nVidia cards setting improper refresh rates or sth for the monitors - and it fried at least one of them. I think it has to something to do with wrong DDC settings being read out (but which can be overridden manually).

Multi-monitor issue with CS4?

Hi; I'm running a Mac with the following specs:
3 x 30" ACD
MacPro 2,8 Ghz Quad
2x ATI Radon 2600 XT graphics cards (2 screens attached to 1 card; 1 screen to the other card)
I've encountered after the switch from CS3 to CS4 the following issue:
Whenever I try to use the new Bridge Review function using one of the the screens sharing one graphics card I just get a grey screen.
If I move the bridge window to the solely attached screen it works.
Is that an issue of CS4 or is just the throughput of the second graCard providing 2 monitors not sufficient.
Thanks t.

T,
There are known issues with using more than one graphics card which Apple has not truly resolved. You may want to browse some of the threads in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum.
In addition, you should know that Photoshop and Bridge cannot really take advantage of more than one graphic card.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1540485#1540485
This bit of information in relation to GPU and OpenGL features and
limitations in Photoshop CS4 had totally escaped me until now. Though
it doesn't affect my setup, it might be of interest to others who may
have missed it too.
Excerpt from
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404898
Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
A. Not at this time.
Q. Why can't Photoshop take advantage of more than one display card?
A. When you move an image window between two monitors that are
each on a separate display card, the GPU attached to the second monitor
does not have access to the data necessary to accelerate drawing. The
SLI and Crossfire technologies that use more than one GPU to speed up
full-screen games will not work with Photoshop, because their use is
limited by design to accelerate only full-screen games.

CS4 Multi-Monitor Issue

Hello,
I have been pulling my hair out all day with CS4 Production Suite. Photoshop, Premiere, etc. would max out the CPU at 100% while loading and literally take about 5 minutes to even start up on a Dual-Core 4GB RAM Latitude 830 running Vista.
Turns out the problem is a dual monitor / display driver issue (that I'm sure many other people will eventually have).
On my laptop itself, I have NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M video card in which I am running my main laptop monitor along with a docked monitor. Then, I have a second video card installed in my docking station that runs 2 more monitors (totaling 4) - an NVIDIA GeForce 6200. If I disable the 6200 driver, everything runs extrmely smooth. If I re-enable the driver, everything goes into crash mode (as far as CS4 is concerned). I have all the most updated drivers (and I have even tried downgrading some of the drivers to make sure that didn't fix it) -- no luck. I have also tried playing with the GPU setting in the Performance options of Photoshop -- no luck.
All of the other programs on my machine run without any problem; I have been running this config for quite some time now.
Adobe, if you could figure out the issue, it would be greatly appreciated. I would much prefer to run 2 video cards than one. (Oh - one more thing... everything works COMPLETELY fine with CS3. This is a CS4 issue.)
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ray

Ray, it will do a lot more good if you file an official bug report at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Be sure to describe the configuration in extreme detail.

Update 1: Metro Apps Multi-Monitor issue

Hi,
Not sure if anyone else gets this or has a solution. I have my Tablet in front of me in a docking station with my external monitor behind and above it. I have it set so that I can move between them vertically and this has been running fine through 8 and
8.1. Now I have 8.1 Update with the new "Mouse" control of metro apps. If I open a Metro app on the tablet screen and then try and move the mouse up to my external monitor I get trapped by the new "Close" bar that shows up.
What was once a seamless transition between screens has become a fight to get to the top screen. If I have side-by-side transitioning then it is not a problem, however it is not intuitive to work like that when the monitors are one on top of the other.

Hi,
It seems you have trouble when you move screen over multiple monitors, it is caused by the title bar of Windows Store Apps?
As far as I know, It is currently not possible to disable this behavior. But I would record this feedback, thanks for your report.

Monitor configuration not set with xorg.conf

Hey,
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x230 with Intel HD4000 Graphics in a Mini Dock Series 3 usb 3.0.
Connected to the Dock are both a 23' Workstation Monitor and a 32' TV. So with the internal Laptop Monitor there are 3 Screens available. The HD4000 is unfortunately able to drive only 2 of them at the same time.
My prefered setup would be to boot up with the 23' Monitor as primary Screen and the internal Display as second.
I can run this setup without problems if configuring it with xrandr but trying to boot with similar configuration in xorg, the internal Monitor ends up being the primary Display (and virtually left to the 23' instead of, on the right..).
My xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI3"
Option "Primary" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS1"
Option "RightOf" "HDMI3"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI2"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
In Xorg.0.log i can see the configuration is perfectly loaded but at the very end, a (wrong) configuration overrides it
**Correct**
[ 210.621] (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on pipe 0 using HDMI3, position (0, 0), rotation normal
[ 210.822] (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on pipe 1 using LVDS1, position (1920, 0), rotation
**Incorrect**
[ 211.486] (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on pipe 1 using LVDS1, position (0, 0), rotation normal
[ 211.486] (II) intel(0): switch to mode [email protected] on pipe 0 using HDMI3, position (1366, 0), rotation
As far as i could see the xorg should have the highest priority or am I wrong?
DM is Cinnamon.
Any help is welcome!
Thx

I think you are. I suspect cinnamon is overriding your setup - X starts with the settings you specified in xorg.conf, then cinnamon reads it's own settings and applies those. Try a simple window manager like openbox, if you'll get your xorg.conf setup, then you'll know it's indeed cinnamon messing things up.

Xf86-video-intel 2.10 may required xorg.conf changes?

Upon upgrading to xf86-video-intel 2.10.0-1, my dual monitor xorg.conf setup was no longer working (both monitors displayed the same low-resolution content). The fix involved the following search/replace operations in xorg.conf:
- replace "monitor-LVDS" with "monitor-LVDS1"
- replace "monitor-TMDS-1" with "monitor-DVI1"
- replace "monitor-VGA" with "monitor-VGA1"
A couple of questions:
- Was the xf-video-intel upgrade responsible for the problem I encountered?
- If so, is this documented anywhere? (It doesn't seem to be in the 2.10.0 release notes).

no, you were using UMS, which defined display ports that way.
the KMS method in use now names your ports LVDS1, DVI1 and VGA1. the reason this happened with the 2.10 drivers is that they now require KMS to work, you were forced to switch.

5-screen (multi-monitor) nVidia xorg.conf -- my setup

Hi. I would like to share my xorg.conf, since it took forever to get right.
There isn't a lot of information out there for folks using > 2 monitors, or several graphics cards, or esoteric setups including rotation etc. I hope this will be useful; I wouldn't mind contributing to the wiki if anybody thinks it might be useful.
So first up: hardware. I have
nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti connected to a 24" monitor (in the middle)
nVidia GeForce 210 connected to two 19" monitors, rotated into portrait (on either side of the 24")
nVidia GeForce GT 440 connected to two 15" monitors (above the 24")
here is a picture of the monitors, click for a bigger version
Drivers: I'm using the official nVidia drivers, I couldn't get nouveau to work. Since I am using Xinerama, the XRandR extension isn't loaded -- therefore my setup won't be suitable for people whose screen configuration changes dynamically. But I'd prefer not to use Xinerama, and even to use nouveau if possible; if anybody has a similar configuration working with nouveau, please share
Finally, the actual config itself. Here it is on pastebin.
Rotation
The correct way to rotate monitors in xorg.conf is through the metamodes option of the Screen section. On my Screen 2 and 4 (the two 19" monitors), you can see that
{ Rotation = left }
has been added at the end of the metamodes option. Contrary to some other guides floating around, it is not necessary to specify these options:
# Unnecessary
Option "RandRRotate" "on"
Option "Rotate" "right"
I believe these come from an earlier version of Xorg. They don't have any effect when I put them in my xorg.conf, using Xorg 1.12.4 and nVidia 304.43.
Even when I specified rotate in metamodes, my monitors didn't appear to rotate because I had originally written
Option "metamodes" "CRT-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
instead of
Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { Rotation = left} "
This just made rotation fail silently, with no error message. Make sure to specify DFP if you're using a digital output (DVI, HDMI, DP) and CRT only if you're using a VGA output on your graphics board.
Tips
When you're testing out a new Xorg.conf, you can use
startx -- :1
to start a new X server without killing the current one. See if your configuration works, then switch back to your original X server by pressing Cmd-Alt-F7.
You should also keep a log of different configurations you have tried. You can use a version control system like git to track changes to your Xorg.conf; make sure you document every change you have made, and why, it can prove invaluable later on.
Feel free to ask about this setup. I would like to know something: what is the function of the Screen option in the Device section? On the four Device entries for my nVidia 210 and 440 cards, there is an option called Screen; when I take it out, the setup breaks. Why are they there? And why do they not map to the screen numbers in the Screen section? (They are numbered 0, 0, 1, 1 rather than 1, 2, 3, 4)

Thank you for the reply. I read the wiki page, but unfortunately I am still struggling with my two nvidia gpu, three monitor setup.
The red arrows show the pointer progression through the monitors (moving mouse left to right). When the cursor is on the top monitor, it becomes an X, and the screen is black.
Here is the matching xorg.conf

Based on this post on archlinux, I took a crack at matching the xorg.conf pattern above (monitor/device/screen sections) with my own. I took it as a victory that it actually didn't error (many xorg.conf experiments have in the last couple of days have). Here is my new xorg.conf with 3 screens/3 monitors/3 devices:

This what appears with the new xorg.conf:
"leftAcer" and "rightAcer" appear, but nothing appears on "topAcer" (it appears not to be getting a signal from the gpu). I can move the mouse pointer between "leftAcer" and "rightAcer".
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few details about the hardware setup:
GeForce 9600 GT is in the PCI:1 slot. It's DVI out is going to "acerLeft", it's VGA out is going to "acerRight".
GeForce GT 610 is in PCI:2 slot. It's VGA out is going to "acerTop".
thanks!

[SOLVED] Dual Monitor / General Xorg.conf Issue

I cannot get my second monitor to work. It is a Dell SE198WEP. My other [working] monitor is a Dell SE198WFP. I suspect my xorg.conf file is not good, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks for any help.

I simply use xrandr to use dual heads like this. Here's my xorg.conf which defines the 2 monitors and their resolutions. Then a simple xrandr command to set up the screens. Works great in i3

Multi-head setup without xorg.conf

I'm using the newer method of running X without an xorg.conf and want a traditional multi-head setup (a "Normal multi-head" method, allowing a separate X session on each of the monitors).
I would use this to have a different window manager run on each of the screens (something like the following for OpenBox: DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox), perhaps with the aid of Switchscreen.
XRandR will give me one big virtual screen (and is currently how I'm doing it, combined with xnest), but that's not what I want. Any ideas?

WooHoo !
awkwood - You Rock ! I feel like an idiot for not paying closer attention to your first post. I finally realized what you were saying and figured out how to do the downgrade.
If it's 2.12.0 I'd suggest trying 2.11.0 instead.
The most recent update borked my dual display with a similar error message but 2.11 works fine.
I don't use an xorg.conf.
So essentially this seems to be a bug with version 2.12 of the xf86-video-intel driver. I downgraded to ver 2.11 and everything works perfectly. I am running dual monitors at full resolution with no fuss. So again awkwood I thank you !
For other Arch Newbies who have this issue in the mean time until they fix the bug, this is how I did the downgrade.
Step 1:
download the 2.11 package from the link below
http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/i686/x … pkg.tar.xz
Step 2:
Open a terminal and cd to the directory where you saved the file
$ cd /home/$USERNAME/Downloads
Step 3:
Use pacman to install the package
sudo pacman -U xf86-video-intel-2.11.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
Finally reboot. When you log back in everything should work fine
Again thanks to awkwood as well as karol, blind, Inxsible and everyone else for their help. Everyone here is so helpful, I am defiantly an Arch user for life. Hopefully they will fix the bug in the next version of the driver. My next step is to see about filling a bug report.

Set permanent monitor refresh rate without xorg.conf

Hi everyone,
Came back to archlinux, made a clean install with gnome 3. Found out that my GDM and Gnome monitor refresh rate is wrong. For GDM I solved it by adding xrandr -s 1024x768 -r 85 to the gdm init script. Maybe it's ugly, but at least working. I've got no xorg.conf and I don't want to create it only because of this problem. Using GUI screen settings in System preferences I managed only to set permanently correct resolution (1024x768) but the refresh rate cannot be changed there, so every time I boot now I have correct resolution and refresh rate for GDM, but after login I have 1024x768@60 only, so I have to manually issue 'xrandr -r 85' every time I login. Can I fix it without creating xorg.conf file under /etc/X11? What I already tried was creating the config file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and set proper resolution and refresh rate there, but it didn't help. If someone has advice or idea, i will be very grateful. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you need to specify the values from the manufacturer's website.
Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"

I probably don't need to specify "Driver" with open-source drivers, but it's easier to just replace it with "nvidia", since I sometimes switch to the proprietary ones.

Dual Monitors without Xorg.conf Help

I have an Acer Aspire One and Im trying to setup Dual Displays. Every guide Ive found, including the Acer One Article in the Wiki talks about editing the Xorg.conf file, yet my system seems to be running without one. Other than problems setting up the dual displays I dont have any issues with Display Settings so it seems my installation of arch linux seems to be using some other technology other than Xorg. Does any one know how the Display settings are setup without the use of the Xorg.conf file ? This is a fresh Arch Linux Base Install using only OpenBox.
Ive also tried using XRandR to setup my dual displays but I keep getting an error and google doesnt provide an answer.
I try and run the following command ( wich works fine on my other PC )
[zero@zero ~]$ xrandr --auto --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --right-of VGA1
And get the following error
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 149 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RRSetScreenSize)
Serial number of failed request: 24
Current serial number in output stream: 25
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Can't properly set up xorg.conf or 10-monitor.conf

Hi.
I would like to ask for Your help. I need someone with greater knowledge over Arch than i have. I have problem with either xorg.conf or 10-monitor.conf. As a matter of fact, now xorg.conf is deprecated so more important is 10-monitor conf.
I have nvidia GTX260 card with newest nvidia drivers. I have 2 DVI's on this card, for an exmaple: DVI-0 nad DVI-1. I would like to use them both using dvi-to-hdmi connector on each of them in order to use my 27 LCD monitor and 40 TV, both with hdmi cable plugged into dvi-hdmi connector and to my graphic card.
I can't solve my problem. Don't know what to do in order to having both screen working. If my 27 inch LCD monitor is connected by DVI-DSUB connector, i have signal on screen. If i plug it by dvi-hdmi connector, than i have screen, singal, picture during boot, but GUI won't load, it stays on "running user interface" or something similar. It is because of my settings in 10-monitor.conf. Here is my setup of 10-monitor.conf

As you can see, there are few section named monitor because Arch detects with nvidia drivers, that i have few screens attached, while i haven't. If i change monitor sections than i could have random switching off signal/screen, and either can have pictrure or don't at all, wither with good 19x12 resolution, or changed for a different, streched to right and i can't log in, and change it eithere.
So, i would like to have what i discribed on top. Could somebody point me in good direction? I tried to generate xorg.conf using nvdia-xcofig, than i applied it to 10-monitor.conf but after reboot i got stuck at "running user interface" or gui, there was no KDE greeting login screen - in my opinion because 10-monitor.conf can't detect that screen is attached by dvi-hdmi connector (detect ok with dvi-dsub and my setting of 10-monitor.conf above). So what to do in order to Arch detects dvi-hdmi connector and detects that i have screen in order to being found and in order to log in into login screen?
When i renamed 10-monitor.conf to 10-monitor.conf.bak and rebooted, i get past "running user interface" or logins screen, i have purple-blue kde greeting and could log in but resolution was stretched on right side and i have only "left side" of screen, so i didn't see login "propmt", or login window, and couldn't log in. Tried to kill x and resuming kdm.service but it won't work. Don't see login window on blue-purple loging screen.
I would like to get past this, would like to use dvi-hdmi connector on my 27 LCD monitor, and being able to use the same dvi-hdmi connector for my 40 TV and use them both. Could somebody help me? What do change in 10-monitor.conf, what to add, what to remove? I'm using now only 27 LCD monitor trough dvi-dsub because i can log into login window because it is in the center of the screen, not stretched to righ on dvi-hdmi connector.
It is not fault of the connectors, i tried on Windows and it Works. Want do have it on Arch because i dont use Windows very often.
Help [:|]

Heh, i found something so stupid about Arch that i can't believe it. In fact, i'm not able to change it.
I had two screen connected to my new graphic card, i moved from GTX260 to GTX660. One flat panel, LG 27 inch, was connected troug one of the DVI (DVI-I-1) and 40 TV was connected trough second DVI (DVI-D-0). What i found? Well, as a matter of fact, this new graphic has booting sequence order regarding working outs during boot. On HDMI out and on DVI-I-1 when booting there is signal and screen. On DVI-D-0 during booting sequence there is no singal, singnal comes up at login prompt of Windows or Arch. Ok, can live with that.
There is one that i can't. If i want to have working setup of my 27 + 40 flat panels, i have to have 27 connected trough hdmi out, 40 trough something other. I'm not able to have 27 connected to DVI-I-1 and 40 TV to DVI-D-0 because during booting sequence, when there is low resolution, i have screen and singal on 27 flat panel, but when there should come up kde welcome login screen, i don't have it. It stays at terminal, when i see info "sterting upser graphic mode". That's strange! The only way to have booting sequence on 27, and also singal/screen after booting sequence of 27 is to have connected 27 flat panel to hdmi out, not DVI-I-1! Why? Don't know but Arch doesen't want to work that way, no matter what i put in 10-monitor.conf. Tried the same on Windows, no matter which out is being used (hdmi or DVI-I-1), during booting sequence there is singal/screen/picture and after it i can normally log into Windows. In case of Arch, i can't.
Don't know. I would show my 10-monitor.conf:

I wan't to have both flat panels on DVI outs because i need hdmi for something other. Is there a way to solve it? Strange is that with provided resolution, vertical and horizontal frequencies, on hdmi out i can boot, i can log into Arch (while my other screen is being found, and also i see picture on login screen) but when i use both of DVI outs, i see booting sequences, and than Arch informs me that has started graphic user mode...but it stays at this black screen. What's more strange is that if i delete 10-monitor.conf, connect my 27 LCD to DVI-D-0, and TV to DVI-I-1, than i see booting on Toshiba 40 TV, don't see it on LG 27, after log in i can set proper resoluton for 27 LG, have both screen working, but if i save this settings in 10-monitor.conf, after reboot...the same thing, stays at message that Arch started graphical user mode.
Don't know what's going on. Can somebody check my xorg? Point me? Maybe xinerama is at fault? I want my LG 27 to be cloned on 40 TV.
In big shortcut: during boot on DVI-I-1 i have signal, can't log into gui mode, stays at mentioned screen with info that it started graphic user mode. What to do, or what to put into 10-monitor.conf?
