Ubuntu Networking :: 1 PC, 5 Monitors, 32 Users\ Only Able To Get One PC And Five Monitors?
Sep 18, 2010I know it can be done, I just need to know what the hardware is called. There is a community center in the area and I might have a chance to help out. Due to not enough funding the center was only able to get One PC and five monitors. What I hope to be able to do ( and know its possible ) is get the hardware to make each monitor is own terminal with keyboard and mouse.

General :: How To Set Up 3 Monitors With Debian
Jul 10, 2010I have 3 monitors and installed Debian Lenny. After installing the driver I was able to set resolution to 1600x1200 just on the monitor to the left, no output to the others And after some config I lost it totally.

Apr 17, 2016I have the following situation:
- Intel HD 4600 and 2 Full-HD monitors (Dell IPS, same model)
- left DisplayPort, right DVI
- Debian stretch with Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64
- XServer X11R7.7 and Cinnamon 2.8.7
… and the following problem:
When I restart the system or login after Standby, usually (not always, but often) some strange green and red pixels appear on the monitor which is connected via DVI. I can remove them by changing the display settings and restoring the extended mode again. However, most of the time the XServer crashes by trying to enable or restore the dual monitor mode (although I’m still able to start a new instance of X from another tty). The XServer also crashes every time I try to enable the extended mode from another situation.
I’ve already tried the following:
- connecting both monitors via DP (no pixes, but also crashes)
- swapping the monitors and using different cables, assuming a hardware problem first (no change)
- VGA instead DVI (works, but inelegant).
- blacklisting i915 or using the xforcevesa boot option (neither of them works, i915 starts though)
- using the nomodeset boot option (detects only one monitor and produces a fallback in software rendering mode)
Debian :: 4 Monitors But Cannot Drag Windows Between Screens
Feb 2, 2011So I have four monitors set up on Debian Lenny. They all work, but I can't drag windows to any other screens. I can open terminal on one screen and web browser on another fine, but if I try to open web browser on one screen and open it again on another it automatically goes to the same screen it is already open on. I need the four screens for network monitoring through the web browser. So I need one instance of web browser opened on each screen and can't do it. Here is my xorg.conf file.

Software :: Debian Dual Monitors With Intel And S3?
Jun 19, 2011I have a 19" and 14" flat panel. There's the onboard Intel graphics, and an old PCI S3 ViRGE card I had laying around.Figured I could make this into a dual head box.Intel is the default display in the BIOS.So far, with the attached configuration, I have the main monitor working properly at 1280x1024@60Hz. Nothing at all on the other monitor. It needs to run at 1024x768@60Hz. If it matters, running Squeeze with LXDE.

Debian Multimedia :: GNOME Virtual Desktops Across Two Monitors
Apr 25, 2016I recently installed Debian 8 (Jessie) with the default desktop environment (Gnome), and I use a dual monitor setup.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Getting Two Monitors To Work With 1 Nvidia Card?
Sep 4, 2010I'd be grateful for any suggestions to get a second TV/Monitor to work in addition to the desktop monitor for a PC which runs Lenny. The first monitor is a small TFTLCD 15". Works perfectly with a GEForce FX 5200 nvidia graphic card and uses the 173.14.09 driver. Having obtained an SVGA cable, I connected the card to a rather larger 32" LCD Panasonic TX-L32S10B TV to enable some armchair viewing of internet etc for my parents. The Panasonic TV or monitor shows all the boot messages but the graphical server fails to start. I know that both screens work, either alternatively or simultaneously, having tested with a Puppy live CD.
However, running
nvidia-xconfig --twinview results in an incorrect screen resolution for the 15" TFT Monitor; Gnome Screen Resolution Preferences gives a rather surprising fixed setting of 2048x786/50Hz when the maximum should be 1024x768. The resulting xorg.conf file is:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Debian Hardware :: How To Make Two Monitors To Work At Same Time
Jul 13, 2014Recently I've bought this motherboard : [URL] ...
And this graphic card : [URL] ....
Now I have attached two monitors on the computer,the first one (the monitor that is working) is attached to the DVI port of the nvidia graphic card,the second one is attached on the VGA port of the embedded graphic card of the motherboard.
Since I would like to play a little with blender,I need to use two monitors at the same time because in this way I can follow more video tutorials at the same time.
I'm using this version of debian :
Linux ziomario-Z87-HD3 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and this is the informations concerning the graphics card installed on the computer :

How to use my two monitors together ?
Debian Hardware :: Jessie - Three Monitors (2 Work The Other Is Not Recognized)
May 7, 2015Running Jessie, x64 Intel iCore 7 16 RAM with a properly partitioned drive to the specifications I prefer. Running the KDE Shell. For some reason my third monitor is not detected by Debian Jessie at all. When I run the command to list the monitors lspci | grep VGA I think. Only two monitors are listed, I know the other monitor works. During Grub bootup it even has some startup text running in it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Jessie Nvidia-settings Multiple Monitors
Aug 30, 2015I've always used Debian with a single monitor and no need of proprietary drivers, because I usually don't do graphics or multimedia. Now I'm asked to set-up a machine with 3 nvidia video cards (770) and 4 monitors and everything went south. I started with just 2 monitors connected to 2 different video cards, not wanting to push my luck.
I installed a fresh Jessie and followed the instruction to install the nvidia drivers and tools from the Wiki. Everything went smooth. After reboot I executed (as root) nvidia-settings and I configured the two monitors to be one to the right to the other, with BaseMosaic option (at this point just one monitor was active) I saved the configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , I even executed nvidia-xconfig as suggested, I rebooted and nothing happened, only one monitor was working, while the other -- looking again in the nvidia settings -- was still disabled.
I then tried with xinerama option and things are even worse, since now both monitors are black. I can login in one textual shell, but then I don't know what to do, since in my 10+ years of linux ... I never had to mess with X server. Is there a way to at least recover a working X without reinstalling everything?
Debian Configuration :: Separate Virtual Desktops On Dual Monitors?
Jul 19, 2011I have a ThinkPad W520 with nVidia Quadro 1000M and Nouveau drivers. I use external monitor with extended desktop using XRandR. My beef with this setup is that I get just one virtual desktop of a (1440+1920)x1080 size whereas what I would like to have is being able to have one separate (set of) virtual desktop(s) on my 1440x1080 external monitor with, for example, some reference material open, while have other programs working on another (set of) virtual desktop(s) on my main 1920x1080 screen. I've read that this might be possible with so called zaphod mode, but it looks like it involves static rules in xorg.conf which I would like to avoid since from time to time I need to carry my laptop with me without external monitor.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Laptop With A Docking Station / How To Switch Monitors?
Feb 21, 2011I have HP Compaq 6530b laptop running Debian Wheezy AMD64. I have a docking station with a monitor supporting 1680x1050 resolution and the laptop monitor with 1440x900. The video is integrated Intel mobile series 4.Both monitors are identified and working OK. When I use the laptop monitor standalone it runs at the native resolution. When connected to the docking station I can choose dual monitors with both using their native resolutions and the desktop spread on both of them (with the laptop monitor being primary and containing the taskbar and icons). If I choose to mirror the display it sets itself to a lower resolution of 1280x1024 that is supported by both monitors.
The problem is that I want to use one monitor at a time. If I close the lid of the laptop it turns off both monitors instead of using the docking station. When the lid is closed I want the bigger docking station monitor to be primary and working at native resolution and if I open the laptop or remove the laptop from the docking station to use the laptop monitor at it's native resolution.I had Debian Lenny I386 before and it was operating as expected but I made a clean install of Wheezy amd64 and I don't know how to configure it.I don't have xorg.conf file so I don't know where it takes the settings from.
Debian Multimedia :: Multiple Monitors On Laptop Causing System Freeze?
Mar 18, 2010I'm having some trouble hooking my external flatscreen monitor up to my Toshiba Tecra's docking station and having Mint (or Debian) be happy with it. The laptop uses a widescreen monitor but my external is a 4x3; I wonder if this is causing problems. Of course, it may just be the Intel 82801G graphics adapter.et things up properly in the Display Preferences config window (I'm using Gnome, btw) but when I hit apply, the system locks and I have to hard boot. I've never set up a linux box with multiple monitors before, let alone multiple monitors that require different resolutions.

Feb 26, 2011I have a dual Monitor Setup, both SXGA LCDs, one rotated left. With kernels and Xservers available from debian making settings appropriate kills X and apparently leaves modesetting and keyboard missconfigured - monitors say: no signal and it is not possible to switch to any VT until sysrq-unraw (alt-print-r) is pressed, which makes the system responding to keyboard, but still leaves the screens blank. Restarting the display manager sets a working mode with both screens showing the same.

See my example picture from my Win 7 dual boot below:
Two Monitors? Ridiculous... by mattlach, on Flickr
The only way I was able to get this to work in Ubuntu was to run two separate X desktops and rotate the 2007FP manually in xorg.conf, and then join them by enabling Xinerama.
Two problems with this solution.
1.) Xinerama is deprecated in favor of Xrandr which I have not been able to make do this.
2.) When using Xinerama Compiz/XGL is disabled, making the desktop feel awfully flat.
Is there any way to avoid this? Is there any way to rotate just one of your displays and maintain Compiz/XGL functionality?

Ubuntu :: Can't Get Dual Monitors
Apr 21, 2011I have an asus p5kpl-cm MB. I plugged in a radeon 9200 pci card. In the bios, I can set up:
pci/igd
igd/pci
igd
etc.
This determines which of the 2 displays (pci card or internal graphics on the MB) is the boot display. That determines which comes up with the bios screen and then once booted into ubuntu (10.04), this is the only adapter/monitor seen. The button detect monitors doesn't do anything.
lspci sees both my internal and pci card graphics. So, I can get either to work just fine (auto detected etc.) just not both at the same time.
I've tried all of the 3 above settings, and even when I set it to just igd, lspci still sees both my adapters. It identifies them correctly, and it works perfectly, detecting the monitor and knows the resolutions for each - just not both at the same time.
Does ubuntu know how to automatically configure more than one display w/o doing something else, or must I do something else to get both going together?
Code:
