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.
[foosoft@asakura ~]$ xrandr

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.
Here's my xorg.conf:

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.
ROOKIE wrote:Which driver did you say you are using?
I installed xf86-video-ati and assume it is loading fine.
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.

Dual Head - Window managers / Desktop enviroments Issues

Hi.
Grasping how Xorg, KDM/GDM, and the many DE:s / WM:s handle Dual head and the likes is not a walk in the park. This is really not really helpful towards newbies, setting up tv-out and such...
Xinerama - cons:
No DRI / openGL
Not all apps are xinerama aware, and not many have option to be started up on xinerama screen.
Xinerama - pros:
Drag apps between screens
Xinerama - usability:
KDE: good
Gnome: poor (apps end up on second screen, second monitor is not very configurable)
Xfce: good
TvinView - cons:
Missing features (A good example is crt is primary monitor, ALWAYS. Not fun when using laptops in tvinview configs)
TvinView - pros:
Accelerated output.
Good configurability in xorg.conf (makes your brain hurt though)
TvinView - usability:
Cant say, not been experimenting much. should be the same as dual screens.
Dual Screens - cons:
Cant move apps between screens.
You get a barebone "extra" desktop on second screen, for "free", yay!
Dual Screen - pros:
Accelerated output
Start apps with enviroment variable "DISPLAY=0.1" to second screen
Duals Screen - usability:
KDE: good
Gnome: poor (Apps end up on wrong screen all to often, Autostarted apps in the notification area / system tray crashes)
Xfce: good
Needless to say i think all setups pretty much suck, but what to do, what to do...
Either way i run dual screens because i want glx accelerated graphics.
As i use xfce and kde, i have no problems with this setup, but what about all gnome people?
Also, i've been browsing the net for DAYS (really) trying to figure out how to stop xfce, gnome and kde from loading that second desktop. There is NO info whatsoever on how to do this.
I want plain X, on my second screen/head. I have heard of people having this, but because of gnome/whatever not supporting dual-head, back in the days. Also one guy i spoke with accidently got this behaviour with KDE 3.5.2 when changing from gdm to kdm.
I also WANT this bug (which for me would be a feature!).
This way i could fire up another WM on that head, or why not freevo as a dedicated media player together with my remote control?
help me out...

@pelle: I have the same problem with gnome... in my xinitrc I first start ratpoison on the second screend but if I start gnome afterwards it takes both screens anyway. It currently only works with two 'simple' WMs. Though, I like Fluxbox as a replacement for gnome/kde very much. If it only had support for beryl, it would definately be my WM of choice.
@tmadhavan: You can indeed only have one exec line but you can execute any amount of commands before that line adding a '&' at the end of the line. The exec just defines the command that is linked to the XServer which means, if the 'exec' command exits, then the Xserver exits as well. But it doesn't have the WM you use with 'exec'. I once used a script I had written there, that allowed me to change the WM on the fly without shutting down neither X itself, nor any application I had running.

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.
Thanks

Here 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.

[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!

Output device not listed.

What if my sound output device not listed? Trying to connect my MacBookPro 17" (mid 2010) to my tv. Video plays. I have connected digital audio cable to both tv n Mac. When I go to sound in system preference (after cord was plugged in) nothing listed.

Very well stated. And, sometimes I do forget that there is still such a thing as celluloid. Not to mention all the new "K"s that RED is coming up with (aren't they working on something like 27 or 28k now?) When I look at it from that point of view, what you say makes perfect sense.
But then why does preferences>video preview in After Effects give me the "output device" option of IEEE 1394 at NTSC 720x480? This leads me to believe that I could plug a deck into 1394 and get a video preview. If this is the case, then my way of thinking says it should offer other options for "output device".
When I first set up Premiere Pro CS4, the playback settings did not list the HDMI HDTV as an external monitor option. It wasn't until I fooled around with the system's display settings and turned the HDTV into an extention of the desktop that suddenly Premiere Pro listed it as a possible external monitor. So, my history there (and my goofy sense of logic that makes perfect sense to me) has me wondering if a similar sequence of messing with the display options is suddenly going to make AE see the HDTV as an "output device". I am not interested in realtime playback, merely the closest reference possible as to what my video image looks like in HD on an external monitor. I ask "why do I need a separate video card like my old Matrox card, when standard graphics cards these days can handle HD & even have HDMI out?"
Admittedly, I know next to nothing about the complexity & inner workings of software and computer components. Why, I was ready to throw a party just because I successfully installed an additional hard drive in my new computer. I must be like one of my own clients who don't understand why we can't easily separate a voice track from a music track when it's been rendered as one .mp3 file...or why we can't quickly cut a person out of a video layer and make them seamlessly interact with footage of JFK, Zemekis-style.

Our HP 1150us g7 has stopped recognizing our dual USB 2.0 Port. It is not listed to uninstall or update its' drivers. Only the one USB port works on the right side facing the notebook.
It is only 21 days out of warranty and I am told they can be replaced however it takes a huge amount of labor, then someone else told us it can not be exchanged only the entire Motherboard. I have found the exact part on sale so I believe it is replaceable.
Here is a link to order the part we believe can be replaced.
http://www.machinaelectronics.com/store/buypart.cfm?pn=NL028516
Does anyone know if it is replaceable or not?
We are sick about this we only had the notebook one year and for the warranty to run out only 21 days before this died we are disappointed with HP for not providing some assistance.
This question was solved.

The link you provided is not the same model as yours. While it may work, I haven't verified it.
Have you performed any hardware troubleshooting on the unit yet?

Why is music in playlist on 2nd gen itouch not listed under music heading in itunes?

I have a few playlist that I created on my iTouch that when connected to iTunes does not list the music in those playlist under the Music heading. How can I include these playlist songs? Without the missing songs I can't get an accurate number of songs on iTouch.

Correction this is a 32g 3rd gen itouch.

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)

Still I can't get OpenGL to work:
ismaelvc@toybox ~ $ glxinfo | egrep "direct rendering|OpenGL renderer"

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"

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.

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!

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.

Dual-Head Disconnected DVI-0

Hi,
I am trying to get dual head working with no luck. The two monitors work fine when linux is booting (cloned view) but under Xorg I can't get the second one working.
I am using Xorg 1.6 X.Org X Server 1.6.1 and [testing]
My card is a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
I am using a DVI-to-VGA extension cable for the DVI output and a regular vga cable on the vga one.
xrandr shows:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 380mm x 300mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0*
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 72.8 59.9
720x400 70.1
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
So it sees the DVI-0 one disconnected.
I tried it with extra/xf86-video-ati and also with aur/xf86-video-ati-git.
Same results with both.
Like I said, both monitors work fine when Arch is booting up.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Both screens are exactly the same monitor so I'm not sure why I'm getting that. Any ideas?
You miss the 'Virtual' line in xorg.conf! Like this:
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Virtual 2560 1024 <----
EndSubSection
Add it for for every bit depth you use.

Xrandr not supporting old resolution

Upgrading Xorg completely broke my system. Lots of not-fun later, I found out that setting up dual-head has to be done with xrandr, which seems like a good way to do it.
However, xrandr does not support setting the resolution from before...
I want to have my two screens running at 1280x1024 (which is quite normal I think, anyone having two 19''ers ).
Now xrandr tells me, that the maximum resolution I can use is 1920x1200. Perviously with xinerama I could set the resolution to 2560x1024 without any problems.
Anyone have similar problems? Anyone have a solution?

This is the only screen running right now, the one I wish to extend using xrandr...

I have a Mac Mini Late 2012, 16GB ram, 2.6GHz, Intel core i7, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Many of the posts/solutions that I read recommended copying the file: AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext (contains video/res/buffer settings?) from a Mavericks Time Machine backup. Next downloading a program called KextBeast (installs .kext files) and run KextBeast to install that file into Yosemite. Since I didn't have a Mavericks Time Machine backup - I did a fresh install of Mavericks then copied the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to an external drive. Next I did another fresh install of Yosemite. Booted up into Yosemite. Copied the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to my desktop. Ran the KextBeast program and it installed the file exactly where it is suppose to be. I rebooted and then opened System Preferences/Displays -chose the "Scaled" option and there was the 3440x1440 resolution at the top of the list. My LG 34UM94-P Monitor is running in all its 3440x1440 glory!!!!
To locate the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext in Mavericks:
From the Finder, select Go > Go to folder... and enter "/System/Library/Extensions/".
KextBeast can be downloaded here: www.tonymacx86.com
I have to admit I was worried about running KextBeast - just because I know nothing about the program - but I figured worse comes to worse I would do a fresh install back to Mavericks. But KextBeast worked like a charm! If you have the know-how using Terminal you can do manually what KextBeast does -do a search for jonathans Blog. KextBeast requires that you first copy the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file to your desktop.
SOME OTHER NOTES:
There were some posts that recommended getting a Hex Editor and editing the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext file - I assume they meant the version of the file that is used by Yosemite - but I went the easy way.
Hopefully this is helpful,

WUPS - I forgot to mention that I am using an Apple Thunderbolt cable NOT a DisplayPort cable.

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

Thinkpad T440s - ClickPad no longer working, not listed in /proc/...

This started earlier today. My clickpad used to work fine, now it's completely non-functional. I'm currently using a Logitech wireless usb mouse, which you'll probably see in dmesg&co below.
Some observations:
if I just boot and don't touch anything except entering my credentials into gdm to login to GNOME Shell, (not touching the mouse/clickpad), I don't have a pointer at all. Touching/clicking the clickpad does nothing. Neither device is in /proc/bus/input/devices. If I move my mouse, the pointer appears and works normally, and I see my Logitech mouse in /proc, but the clickpad still doesn't work.
Here's some output of various commands/files:
xorg log
dmesg
proc/bus/input/devices <-- clickpad not listed
xinput <-- clickpad not listed
lspci
lsusb
Here's some troubleshooting strategies I tried:
- Reboot
- Suspend, resume
- disable/re-enable clickpad in BIOS
- reinstall synaptics
- uninstall/reinstall laptop-mode-tools
- shutdown, remove battery, unplug, hold down power button for 2 mins (clear cmos?)
- weep/pray to Linus
- boot an Ubuntu live usb, confirmed clickpad is *not* working there.
- Update BIOS
- Tried reconnecting keyboard/trackpoint, wasn't able to access the connector, but it looked securely fastened
None had any effect.
I tried starting the synaptics daemon manually: syndaemon. But I get this: Unable to find a synaptics device.
I also tried removing/reloading the kernel module with modprobe, but I'm not sure which module is the right one. psmouse did not do the trick.
I looked through /var/log/pacman.log, to look for culprits, but the last major thing to be updated was systemd/linux on the 18th. The ClickPad was working fine this morning (suspend/resume worked fine). Specifically, it stopped working when I was in the car heading home for spring break. I had just compiled OpenJDK8 before I left, and installed "netbeans-devel". I suspended my laptop by closing the lid, got in the car. Reopened it, and then began to mess with Java 8. A suspend later and my clickpad was no longer working. I restarted, and it was working again. Then I suspended it for the rest of the trip. Upon getting home, it no longer worked and I haven't been able to get so much as a wiggle of the mouse pointer since then.
Anyone have any ideas?

Haha!
I had the same issue. Touchscreen worked fine out of the box but the trackpad/pointer was unresponsive.
Did you try using:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86 … rackpoint/
On another note, I had a good experience with their hardware support. Cracked my touchscreen and jumped through the same hoops. Great turnaround time (<1week).
Alright, I've got my laptop fixed. Lenovo informs me that they replaced the motherboard. After putting my SSD back in, the touchpad works now! So it looks like it was definitely a hardware issue for me.
And yeah, lenovo support was incredible. They were very nice on the phone, didn't mind that I kept my hard drive, and they gave me 1-day shipping all over the place. I talked to them on the phone on the 28th @ 17:00 GMT-6, received my box on the 29th and sent it right back out with the laptop in it. They received it the 30th, fixed it the 30th, and it would've been back to me the 31st if that weren't a Saturday. So, I received it today.
Oddly, though, they accidentally sent me an (extra) repair box to my apartment- which I'm not at right now. /me shrugs.

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.

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 ?
