hi all,
I had a working dual screen setup on my debian machine.
But after I upgraded from XF86 to xorg, this xorg.conf setup doesn't work anymore.
Now I read this on a Debian wiki:
Code:
o solve this problem, you need to update your xorg.conf:
*
drop dual Device/Screen/Monitor sections from
*
drop MonitorLayout option and Screen lines from the remaining Device section
*
drop dual Screen lines from the ServerLayout section
*
drop RightOf/LeftOf indication to the remaining Screen line in ServerLayout section
*
add a "Virtual 2048 2048" line in SubSection "Display" to create a large virtual screen where physical monitor will be placed (note that boards < i945 will disable DRI if you use more than 2048 in one direction)
*
use xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS to place you VGA screen on the right of your internal LCD (see xrandr manpage for details)
Now I removes all the duplicate sections (device, screen, monitor), and the xserver is starting again and I have an image on both screens.
But the image is the same on both (cloned) and I would like to have big desktop spread over the screens like before.
I'm only having troubles with this:
add a "Virtual 2048 2048" line in SubSection "Display" to create a large virtual screen where physical monitor will be placed (note that boards < i945 will disable DRI if you use more than 2048 in one direction)
*
use xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS to place you VGA screen on the right of your internal LCD (see xrandr manpage for details)
this is my current xorg.conf:
