Dual monitor issue

xushi · 06-07-2005, 08:16 AM

I'm really having trouble here.. I've read a few tutorials and posts, but still can't figure it out.

I'm trying to connect my monitor to the vga port at the back of my laptop. Currently, it works, but what is displayed on my monitor is exactly the same as what's displayed on the laptop lcd. What i want is to have a second terminal, virtual terminal, desktop, whatever, in the monitor, which is different than what's on the laptop's lcd screen.

I tried editing my xorg.conf, but the closest i could get is that if my monitors is plugged in, and i startx, my laptop lcd goes blank, and monitor displays main window. If i disconnect the monitor, then startx, my laptop lcd is the main window, and then if i connect the monitor, back to square 1...

Note: I prefer having the same keyboard and mouse for both monitors, where i can just move the mouse from one to the other.. kind of like having the virtual workspaces (or extended desktops), but one in each monitor...

X -configure gives me serious errors about not finding modules which i've never heard about.

Here's my xorg.conf
EDIT: updated xorg.conf, 10-6-05

Disclaimer: I don't have an ATI card, and the TV-out on my laptop will hardware shift the display from my laptop LCD to the TV!

Aside from that, I had no significant issues getting the nVidia to do what I wanted it to. What you gotta use is something called Xinerama. A quick poke around brought up this site:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#ATI

Forgive me for being at work and not having my own xorg.conf file handy. I will post it up as soon as I can, if you're still having problems.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful - good luck!

xushi · 06-07-2005, 10:04 AM

Thanks alot piete, I'll read about Xinerama, and see if i can get it up to work. If you don't see a "Solved" message here by the time you're back, then i'll most probably still be stuck

Again, thanks for the help.

EDIT
Still no luck.. I've followed every step there, and modified the xorg.conf (updated it above instead of rewriting it here..)

The laptop lcd apears as if it tires something, then goes blank. The vga monitor loads up with the main screen.. When logging out, they both go back to the CLI. That's if the monitor is plugged in from the firt place. If not, then laptop lcd loads up fine, then when i plug the monitor on , it loads with a copy of what's on my laptop lcd.

xushi · 06-07-2005, 02:19 PM

Just to note, appart from the fact that Xinerama didn't work, ATI's official drivers refuse to run with it being loaded in xorg.conf =/

piete · 06-08-2005, 04:45 AM

Things to consider:

* You've left a kernerl driver in when it should've been left out.
* You've left a driver out that should be in. <-- unlikely

My understanding of X is that, basically, the ATI drivers have to run when you start X. If something else has got control over your graphics card (in the newer kernels there are swanky options for high-powered framebuffers, I had to unload the kernel module before I could startX to let the official 'nvidia' driver take control), then it'll try and start and then just fall on it's face.

You can pull up some seriously detailed information regarding what's going on when you hit startx from: /var/log/xorg.0.log

Anything completely out of the ordinary in there? Warnings about xinerama, I suppose, would be a give-away. Also watch your modelines for your monitors - it doesn't take much for X to really hate them.

I'm due away tonight, unfortunatly, but I will have a quick look when i get back. All the Xinerama documentation I found when I started investigating was not nice.

More conflicting advice:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22412.html

I'll check back as soon as I can.

xushi · 06-08-2005, 06:39 AM

Thanks. That link almost did the job perfectly, after some serious modification to my xorg.conf, which i have updated again in the first post.

If i enable the "Virtual 1680 1050" in Screen, X won't load. It'll just give me the XFCE Loading sign on one monitor, and just stay there.

Forget about fglrx.. its useless and i give up on it. The only game i still play nowadays is Diablo 2 LOD, and it works perfectly on 2D.

The only two problems i see now are these..

1) From what i can see, they're both sharing the same rez.. The laptop lcd used to be 1680x1050, but now both screens are using a '2048x768' rez, which looks alright in the monitor, but makes my laptop lcd now seem as if its running on 800x600.

Is there any way i can have 2 different resolutions for each screen?

2) The laptop's lcd is the main one ofcourse, and thankfully it recognises it like that. But when i load D2 LOD, it loads it in the second monitor.. hehe.. Any chance i can tell it to load on the laptop's?

Again, thanks alot for your help. I wouldn't have managed to figure out all this without it =)

piete · 06-08-2005, 09:09 AM

Excellent! I'm glad my fumbling around in the dark is useful

Under one of the options there should be a way to tell xorg how big your monitors are ... looking at the post, the line is:

Code:

 Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768"

Basically you specify the screen size of each monitor, and the whole desktop size is, in this case, 2048x768.

You should be able to specify things like "1280x1024-800x600", but be aware, tho', you'll like have a "dead zone" where you can put things, but ... can't necessary get them back again

I seem to recall being able to instigate scrolling to eliminate that deadzone, but ... possibly more to do with nVidia than Xorg or Xinerama.

Thinking about it, specifying something like: "1280x1024-800x1024" will give you a total desktop area of 2080x1024, with the screen on the right being vertically-scrolling. Or at least, it should do.

Assuming the screen/monitor setups are correct and pointed in the right place (you want to tell the system to put the external monitor to the left/right of the other one) you should be able to have 1 large Xinerama-enabled desktop across your 2 monitors, with different resolutions on each.

Have a play with it =D

xushi · 06-08-2005, 10:06 AM

Hehe, sorry piete

But i still don't quite get it..

I know i have to edit the Modeline, but i don't see exactly how the numbers add up.. From my experimenting, the highest so far i can get is 1280x1024-1024x768

Code:

(II) RADEON(0): Generating MergedFB mode list
(II) RADEON(0): Merged 1280x1024 and 1024x768 to 2304x1024
(--) RADEON(0): MergedFB: Virtual width 2304
(--) RADEON(0): MergedFB: Virtual height 1024
(--) RADEON(0): MergedFB: Display dimensions: (760, 300) mm
(--) RADEON(0): MergedFB: DPI set to (77, 86)

Which has a total of 2304x1024 (how? i have no idea) But the rez still looks way too big.

Mind you, the laptop's lcd is 15.4'' widescreen, and the tft monitor is a 19'' one..

The laptop's i'd love to keep as 1680x1050, and the other one.. well i don't mind.. anything would do.. eve 1024x768, or whatever..

entering Modeline 1680x1050-1024x768 wont work. Whenever i get out of range numbers like this one, the logs spit out an error and it goes back to mirroring.

EDIT
aaaaaaaaaaah! I see now!
It turns out i needed to add both numbers up, and actually write the result as the highest value in Subsection Display --> Modes

So if i want 1680x1050-1024x768, i have to write

Code:

 Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        #Virtual                1024 768
        Modes       "2704x1818 1680x1050 1024x768 800x600 640x480"
    EndSubsection

Well, that solved the laptop's monitor.. Now all i have to do is find a good number to sort out the other one, because it's scrolling vertically.. I'd rather have no scrolling of any sort.

Thanks =)

EDIT 2:
I got 1680x1050-1280x1024 = 2960x2074 running almost perfectly. There's about half a centimeter worth of scroling on the ext. monitor, but nothing too annoying, and the resolutions are all up and running!

Thanks alot! =D
Now to watch the horror in my father's eyes when i consider to him that i might keep the monitor instead

lol

piete · 06-08-2005, 10:24 AM

Ooh, working? Cool!! =D

You don't need to add both lines up ...

Code:

        <--   1024 -->   +  <-- 800 -->
       +--------------+     +----------+  
   7   |              |     |          |  6
   6   |              |     |          |  0
   8   |              |     +----------+  0
       +--------------+

So, Your merged screen size will be:

Horzontally = 1024 + 800 = 1824
Vertically = MAX(768,600) = 768

Keep on hackin.

xorg.conf, at long last!

www.kaear.co.uk/linux/amd64-3000-xorg.conf

As a note:

When using the "run" script, I found that on occasion for no apparent reason it would try to read the .xinitrc file and start the window manager underneath the game. To fix this, I kinda botched it:

I edit the first line of the startx script (locate it using the command `which startx`) to read:

Code:

userclientrc=$HOME/.xinitrc.normal

The contents of .xinitrc.normal:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# Register the buttons on the mouse
imwheel -k -b "67"

# Start the window manager:

# for xfce:
 /home/administrator/.xinitrc.xfce4

This way, when you start a new xserver via xinit, it has no chance to get confused, since .xinitrc.normal is not a standard path.
.xinitrc does not exist, which stops xinit botching that, too.

This does the trick for me, but if the problem does crop up - then you can use a second .xinitrc file (I called mine .xinitrc.games) and with judicious use of `man xinit` you can start the X server with the .xinitrc file of your choice. Instead of starting KDE/Gnome/xfce whatever, just start twm, or nothing at all.

Now I am definitly at a loss. xinit should be able to be run manually from anywhere on your system (in or out of an existing X session).

Try running the line from run level 3 (su -c 'init 3'), and without the script:

Code:

xinit /bin/sh -c "xterm" -- :1 -screen "800600" -depth "24"

You should get a basic X session running at 800x600@24 without a WM and just xterm sitting in the top left. If you don't, then there is a more fundamental problem that has nothing to do with my script itself.

Comparing our two xorg.conf files - I see that you have the line:

Code:

Option    "omit xfree86-dga"

Commented out, while I do not ... also you're loading a whole bunch of other modules that I don't have listed.

Tweak it a little (always save a working backup!) and see if you can get it to work. If you find yourself having to tweak so much it's unreasonable, then copy your xorg.conf file and make a new one called something like xorg.games - you should be able to call xinit and specifiy which xorg.conf file to run (probably with something like -xfree86 "/path/to/conf/file" at the end of the command line). man xinit will give you more information on doing this.

Yep, i got a blank black screen, with a white terminal starting on the top left. And after exiting, i noticed that there was something outputed.. It's still weird to see that error.. especially when everything went smoothly.

Edit: The mergefb error i can understand.. fair enough, but the other one ?!

Code:

Hmm.. I don't see how these might be the problem, but anyway i'll tweak xorg.conf from top to bottom again, and keep you updated =)

The *.pcf.gz error looks non-critical. I suspect commenting out the "bitmap" module will cure it, as FreeType should be dealing with the bitmap (*.pcf.gz) fonts already (hence the error).

Thanks cathectic, that particular error is gone.. Now i'm left with one =)

I actually got the executable to run fine, it asked for my game's cd when it wasn't in. but when i stuck it in, again X crashed, and i got the error

I'm gonna google around in the morning and see if i can solve the problem.. The X log is useless, but just incase i'll post it (very long). Again, thanks for everyone who's putting alot of effort with me to read through logs and help =)

EDIT: the log's too long to stick here.. here's a link to it
