2nd display stoped working
Hi guys,
I am a bit confused here. My laptop worked realy well with two additional screens, but stopped it since I've booted the thing this morning. Now I can only chose between one of the external screens. I connot use both at the same time. They both work fine, but not together. Laptop: Fujitsu Lifebook with dockingstation Screen1: Asus 27" - connected with DP Screen2: Asus 24" - connected with DVI Distro: MX Linux - up-to-date Working and not working cases: C1: 27" + Laptop - works C2: 24" + Laptop - works C3: 27" + 24" - nope C4: 27" + 24" + Laptop - nope Like I said initially, C3 and C4 worked fine until yesterday. I've searched this forum for similar problems and could find nothing, but saw, you guys like to have informations from xrandr: Code:
$ xrandr Thanks in advance! Faust |
Are dock and both external displays powered on when booting the laptop?
Which DE or WM are you using? Is the behavior different if you start a different X session type, or use Xorg instead of Wayland (or vice versa)? Is it possible to connect both external displays without using the dock? If yes, do both external displays work at the same time? Were any updates installed before shutting down yesterday? If yes, were any related to graphics, or a new kernel? Are there any new or freshly changed files in /etc/X11/ or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/? Please ensure /etc/inxi.conf does not contain B_ALLOW_UPDATE='false', removing the line or changing false to true if necessary, then run sudo inxi -U, and follow by pasting here input/output from inxi -SGaz -vs. |

I've connected the 27" display directly via DP to the laptop and the 24" display via DVI and docking station. Both displays work now like before the problem occured, yet not fully with the docking station, which is unsatisfactory. Quote:

Ether one of your measures worked, or the problem was simply solved by using another DP-Port at the docking station.
Booted several times - removed and replaced the laptop from and to the docking station several times - the display settings are working again and they are stable. Whatever it was,it works now perfectly. Thanks for your help @mrmazda |
Looks like you had an encounter with connector voodoo. :p Glad it works now! :)

But I am to new too Linux to even understand what the inxi.conf is for =D So my guess is, it was the connector voodoo. Thx again |
