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

This is actually one of the first times i've had to go under the hood linux (I've recently been using a linux computer at work) so I'm pretty newbie - any help would be greatly appreciated.

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).

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.

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>"

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 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

nobodynhio wrote:As far as i could see the xorg should have the highest priority or am I wrong?
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.

[SOLVED] Refresh rate, nvidia and Quake Live

I need help setting my monitor to 120HZ for 640*480, i have no idea how to do this using xorg.conf or nvidia-settings... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution. I'm not gonna be mean and say how simple doing this is in windows(guess i just did) Sorry ^^.
I'm using a ViewSonic E70 17" CRT monitor and a Geforce4 mx420 with the nvidia-96xx proprietary driver from the repos.
I really need 640*480 to get to 120 hz, should be simple enough!
Thanks!

If you look at the Nvidia docs it says in there somewhere why each monitor has a "unique" refresh rate. It boils down to X is too stupid to do real dual monitors. As a result, Nvidia presents to X two "separate" monitors; it differentiates them to X by using different refresh rates...thus you cannot (and should not even try) to set the monitors to use the same refresh rate.
I'd suggest using nvidia-utils or nvidia-setup (not sure of the name but it will autocomplete on the command line if you just type "nvidia-") to set up twinview or separate X sessions or whatever you want. It's easy to use and will even write an xorg.conf for you. Failing that, look at randr on the wiki.
i did nvidia-xconfig. and also activated the vsync in nvidia-settings. But no luck. Also when i chose seperate X in nvidia-settings my arch freezes. I am going to do a refresh install.

[solved] Tearing Problem / Refresh Rate

Hey,
i have a huge tearing problem. Watching movies is a real torture.
I think it's the refresh rate. The recommended refresh rate for my display is 60Hz (@1920x1080p). But i can only choose 50Hz in the XFCE settings (link).
Anyone can say how to change this to 60Hz? If any configs or hardware specifications are needed, please let me know.
Last edited by arcc (2012-02-13 21:25:20)

It's a nvidia 8800 GTS.
If I choose Resolution: Auto in nvidia-settings I can only use Refresh Rate: 50Hz in XFCE settings.
If I choose Resolution: 1920x1080 60Hz in nvidia-settings I can use Refresh Rate: 50Hz or 122Hz in XFCE settings.
Here the monitor part of xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "AOC 2795E"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Sync to VBlank is always enabled in nvidia-settings.
But tearing anyway...

T61p Wuxga display refresh rates

Hi!
I suspect that my GNU/Linux installation sets the wrong refresh rates for my 15.4" WUXGA 1920x1200 display. It sets the vertical rate at 50, which seems very low.
I can't seem to find what the correct rates are in the documentation that came with the computer. Does anyone know? If you don't know the horizontal rate, I'm still interested in the vertical rate. What does Vista set? (I removed Vista, so I can't check myself.)
Please help!

Adamaxus -- searching the web I find a lot of such claims. I didn't know this. But I do know from my own experience that vertrefresh has a huge impact on my stationary lcd monitor. Are there different kinds of lcds that behave differently in respect to vertrefresh?
Anyway, I don't have any flicker on my T61p screen. It only bothers me that xorg and nvidia-settings report different refresh rates, and that some GL applications might get the wrong info and slow down because of it.This is one of the explanations floating around the net for slow gl desktops on T61p.
If 50 is the default refresh rate, I would think that xorg is right and nvidia-settings is wrong (it reports 60).

Adding refresh rates?

my xrandr list
$ xrandr

7 320 x 200 ( 271mm x 201mm ) 75 60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none
I am pretty sure my monitor manages better Refresh rates that this, how can I add them in the xorg file?

It is maybe about the `cvt' output program?

Increase refresh rate of my LCD display

Hey hey hey. How can I increase the refresh rate available for my LCD display? Should I increase the refresh rate? I cannnot find where to change it.

There are different refresh rates that you can set, but I agree, 60 should be adquate. You can check this under Control Panel, Display, Settings, Then Click on Advanced, then Monitor. There you will see the refresh rate. Unclick the "Hide modes..." and you will see other rates which may not be able to be applied to your machine.

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.

What is the defaults refresh rate of the Mac book pro 15inch?

What is the defaults refresh rate of the Mac book pro 15inch? and how can I change it?

I don't believe there is a refresh rate for LCD or LED monitors. Refresh rate is something that is used for old style CRTs if i'm not mistaken.

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"

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.

Thanks.

I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
First, I found this line:
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
Later on, I found these:
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
(II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
(WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
Trying standard mode instead!
Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

Judder using Mplayer... maybe force different resolution/refresh rate?

Hi!
(I posted this in the newbie section too, but this is maybe the most appropriate place??)
I've set up my computer as a media center using Freevo. As the main media player in Freevo I use Mplayer. The setup is working beautifully, but I'm getting some judder and it's a bit annoying. It's most noticable during bright, fast moving scenes.
So I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this, but it's harder than I thought. My setup is the following:
AMD 4200+ dual core, 2 gigs ram, Nvidia 7800GTX, 24" LCD and Pioneer LX508D plasma TV, and I'm using CoreAVC as decoder (amazing piece of software )
When I bought the 24" screen for my computer the sales guy (using windows) forced the resolution to 1920x1080. It looked a bit stretched, but if I could do this in Linux I'd avoid having parts of the picture missing on my TV. Now I have to use 1920x1200 resolution as main X session and since my TV is 1920x1080 parts of the desktop is out of view on my TV. This isn't too big of a deal though cause when playing movies they come out in 1920x1080. It'd be nice though to get the correct aspect ratio between my pc screen and my TV (I've been trying to use Twinview and clone, but it's impossible to use 1920x1200 on the 24" and 1920x1080 on the TV at the same time). I've tried to force my pc screen to use 1920x1080 (since it worked in windows it's supposed to be possible), but when I enable it through xorg.conf the screen goes blank. Using nvidia-settings doesn't give me the option of using 1920x1080 on the 24" at all.
So what I'm hoping to be able to do is to force the computer screen to use 1920x1080 and a refresh rate of 72Hz. This should eliminate alot of the judder and at the same time I won't have to use the "PC mode" on my TV (PC mode restrict the Hz to max 60Hz). Hopefully the TV will accept the 1920x1080 72Hz as any input and let me use the normal input (and then be able to use 72Hz... or 96Hz for that matter).
Anyone know how I might be able to do that? I'd really appreciate any help at all since this is the only thing that's not perfect with my setup.

Ok, I tried to change the xorg.conf file to 72Hz on the TV and it when black again. This is what the xorg.0.log shows:

I read somewhere that the TV is supposed to be able to show 1080p in 72Hz. But when I try that it goes blank. Maybe it has something to do with the monitor being 1920x1200 and the TV 1920x1080. The monitor won't accept 1920x1080 as resolution so I guess that can only be done in Windows...

17" crt monitor, but not all refresh rates showed

Its a duplicate from this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=89220
But this is the right subforum.
Only some refresh rates are displayed as an option.
Look xrandr:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1600 x 1200

400x300 89.0 90.0 91.0 92.0 93.0

320x240 95.0 96.0 97.0 98.0
320x200 99.0
320x175 100.0
The weird value rates are fault of the nvidia driver telling jokes.
But how can i have more refresh rate in 1280x1024 than 1280x960? My monitor is a standard 4:3 crt.
I tried disabling EDIDs and specifying the sync values according to the monitor.
The monitor is a samsung syncmaster 700p.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I see you have a nvidia card. For nvidia users xrandr displays wrong value. If you want to check exactly what you're running, search some of the monitor options, it should have it in there. Also use the nvidia-settings, but for me at times it too reported wrong refresh rates.

Xorg.conf multiple monitors different refresh rates
