Hi Guys,
I got a "small" problem setting up my X environment to dual monitor mode without cloned output.
I tried several tutorials I found on the Internet but none seems to work.
My goal is to set up my monitors to be screens next to each other with one desktop stretched over both of them. It seems that i can do whatever I want. I can't get my system to get out of cloned output mode. :\
output of xrandr:
| Code: | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DisplayPort-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm
1920x1080 60.0*+
1600x1200 60.0
1680x1050 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1152x720 60.0
1024x768 75.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 60.0
720x400 70.1
DVI-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm
1920x1080 60.0*+
1600x1200 60.0
1680x1050 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1152x720 60.0
1024x768 75.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 60.0
720x400 70.1 |
Does anyone know what I need to do to set this up in xorg.conf the way I described it above? (Btw: I need to set this up using xorg.conf for power saving stuff and other things)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your replies! |

| Code: | | xrandr --output DVI-1 --right-of DVI-0 |
That'll make it work immediately. For xorg.conf search for RightOf in the manpage; the mechanism is exactly the same. |
