 |
|
Im trying to get 3 screens working, one on my onboard AMD HD4200 and 2 on my Nvidia GT 430. I am getting 2 screens working, but I X is giving me an error. It says "Screen 1 was deleted because of no matching config section" Any Ideas?
Im using nouveau for the NVIDIA card and vesa for the amd.
Also, I can not use a tool like arandr because it does not recognize all of the monitors/devices.
Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/i6E2E8Qm

RandR protocol does not support more than one video card, so no *randr tool will work.
You probably can get an usable configuration using the deprecated Xinerama extension, but you won't have any kind of 3D acceleration.

I have xinierama activated, but the right screen still gets no signal. |

I am not familiar with Xinerama at all, but the relevant section in your xorg.conf seems to be commented out.
Still I cannot help you further, because I haven't used Xinerama for years and I am not even sure if current versions of xorg-server support it - maybe someone else will be able to say anything more.
You will surely need to provide Xorg.0.log in any case.

Right, I have uncommented it and I am still getting the same error. |
