Screen/Monitor cannot be found despite the graphics card has been.
1 Attachment(s)
I'm using an Intel Q45 graphic card, VGA and HDMI. I have two monitors and both work with Win7, splitting nicely. However in Suse it doesn't find the second monitor, the one on the HDMI port. However Suse does find that there is a HDMI port it could use. It's just not set up to have a screen attached to it.
Xinerama won't work. I tried it despite the fact that it shouldn't I have tried numerous xorg.conf setting according to a number of sites that were very helpful and very thorough. I tried to modify their advice but it simply didn't work out for me. It seems like the screen is simply not acknowledged within the system for some reason. I'm running OpenSUSE 11.2 with KDE4.4, factory and my other systems pick up the screen without a hitch. My home system did the same with a HDMI connection so if anyone can point me in the right direction or even better, tell me where I have gone wrong I would deeply appreciate it. I included my current xorg.conf if anyone feels like having a look at it. I'm not a complete newbie but I'm not very good at the X system :( |
Remove all of the xorg.conf except for
the two monitor sections Look for the correct identifier in the xorg logs in /var/log something like DVI-1 |
Thanks for the way to find the identifier. It seems to have connected now but as you can see at the bottom of this log it is still disconnected in the end.
Am I right that there is an option I have to add to make this one work properly from here? If so, which option and where? I've tried looking through some more webpages but I don't seem to get it right. Code:
(II) intel(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section |
(EE) intel(0): Cannot position output HDMI-2 relative to unknown output Monitor[0]
check the positioning in xorg.conf |
There is no positioning aside the 'RightOf Monitor[0]', well VGA now.
I switched the Monior[0] to VGA to match that pipe/output on the card as well. I did nothing really, still same net result. VGA monitor works, HDMI doesn't. http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html Code:
Screen screen-num "screen-id" position-information Code:
Absolute 1280x0 |
SUSE is too proprietary. It is better if you use another distribution that is just Linux compared to SUSE which is a re-modified Linux that is all by itself.
The ServerLayout section designates which monitor is the left or the right. Do not use the Monitor section to do this because it gets messy. Only use the Monitor section to list the specs of the monitor and the custom Modelines. You will need to add another Screen section with a different name for Identifier. You will also need to add another Device section for the second video card. Both Device sections that designates your video card requires to include BusID, Screen, and different name for Identifiers. The following is my xorg.conf. Code:
Section "ServerLayout" |
Electro... So you give me a bigoted response and conf that has nothing
to do with Intel but with Nvidia and no other explanation to go with that. How is that helpful? Sorry but I don't get it... |
