Ubuntu :: Change Default Monitor When Dual Monitor Is Enabled
Nov 19, 2010I have a dual monitor setup in Ubuntu, with my main monitor on the right and the monitor I want to extend to on the left monitor, but I can't seem to get it to do this, it always has the 'desktop' on the left monitor and then extends onto what I want to be my main monitor. I have an ATI Radeon 4350 Graphics card.

Oct 19, 2009This is a repost of my initial problem, I need some one who knows what they are doing more than I too take a look at this command output and give some sort of direction/clue/etc on what I'm doing wrong or missing.
Is my xorg.conf missing some vital line(s) or setting?
My best guess is that i'm missing something to tell the Xserver to use both screens, as the Xorg.0.log does not talk about trying to bring up the intel display; but this is just a hunch.
I'm running kubuntu 9.04 with 2 monitors: on-board intel video and a PCI nvidia display: I am using my nvidia display fine, but still can not get my 2nd display (the intel) working. What the heck am I missing?

Fedora :: F14 Dual Monitor - Firefox Starts On Wrong Monitor
Jan 27, 2011I just upgrade to F14 from F10 on a dual montor setup. Firefox behaives differently on F14 than on F10.
On F10 it followed the mouse pointer's location and show up on the correct monitor
When maximized at close, it is always displayed on the left monitor. When not maximized at close it will open on the monitor where the mouse pointer is located.
About minimize/maximize Firefoxe before closing and it seems to work in some case, but not for me.

Apr 23, 2011I am attempting to use dual monitors in Fedora 14 using an AMD ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series graphics card (not that I think that has anything to do with anything, but who knows), and want it to where my second monitor is its own virtual workspace so that I can switch between my other workspaces on my original monitor without switching the workspace on the second monitor. This way, I can watch movies or what-not on my TV (2nd monitor) while working on my original monitor.The only thing I found that was even close was setting the 2nd monitor up on it's on x server, which I don't want to do. Also, as it is now, I have my panel on my original monitor, but the windows do not see it when I have it aligned on the right (the windows don't adjust their size to account for the fact that it is there). I know a way I can do a work-around for this, but I would like to know if there is a "correct" way to do this. I know I can tell the movie player to show on all workspaces and have it on the 2nd monitor.

Mar 20, 2010I recently had a wine program crash after I tried to set it within itself to windowed mode. Now ever since, when I boot, I load my sound app and it loads on the smaller 2nd monitor to the right. ANY wine pop-up or program loads on the 2nd monitor to the right. Even though I've checked that my primary, larger monitor on the left is #1 both in displays and through amdcccle. I've read through my xorg.conf but don't see why pop-ups windows and wine windows are loading to the smaller monitor.

Ubuntu :: Restoring Default Monitor Settings
Feb 4, 2011I have a relative who made the mistake of changing the resolution of her display to something that her monitor does not support. The monitor no longer displays anything.If she connects another monitor to the computer, the monitor will work properly. If she boots off the live CD, her current monitor works properly. If she swaps out her graphics card with another with the current monitor, there is no display.Apparently, there is a remembered setting for the resolution of her particular monitor. Is there a way that it can be reset back to the default?

Ubuntu :: Add Panel To Dual Monitor In 10.10?
Apr 7, 2011I have a dual monitor setup in 10.10, which acts as an extended workspace.
In previous versions of ubuntu, I could move panels around by grabbing them and moving them to the area within the second monitor.
In 10.10, I cannot seem to do that.
How do I create panels in this extended workspace on the second monitor?
OpenSUSE :: Configure Default Monitor In KDE?
Jul 14, 2011I am currently running openSUSE 11.3 x86-64 with two monitors, a 24" and a 20", both running off of an nVidia 9800 GTX+ using twinview. Does any one know of a way to have programs open by default on my 24" display or at least default to the display which the program was used previously. My computer seems to prefer to open programs on the 20" more so than the 24". In all other aspects the 24" is the primary monitor. I think that I am looking for some sort of setting within KDE.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Seem To Get Dual Monitor To Work ?
Jan 5, 2010I am on kubuntu 9.10 x86_64
I just got my new video card: nvidia 9500 GT to setup dual monitors.
The video card has 2 dvi output to support dual monitors
Monitor 1 is connect to dvi
Monitor 2 is connect to dvi using a vga adaptor
I can't seem to get dual monitor to work?
From system settings -> monitor, i see 2 vid outputs one is DVI0, the other is VGA2. what's odd is i can set up different screen resolution for each monitor, but I only see one desktop, both monitors show the same desktop.
How do i get each monitor to show it's own desktop?
Ubuntu :: Dual Monitor - Now System Won't Start Up
Feb 9, 2010I think I have caused a big problem with my laptop running Ubuntu 9.04, and I now can't get it to load up properly at all. It was when I was trying to change the screen resolution of my external monitor.
I'll try to recall exactly what I did...
I connected the external monitor and then turned the laptop on. The laptop worked fine, and the external monitor worked fine. The only problem was that the resolution on the external monitor was poor (it was the same resolution as on the laptop screen).
I went to system>preferences>Display
I removed the tick from mirror screens
Then I selected the external monitor and changed its resolution to the maximum setting. At this point a message popped up, but now I can't remember exactly what it said - I just clicked OK.
Both screens went all black, and I couldn't undo whatever I'd done.
I've now tried switching the computer off again and on again. If the external monitor is NOT connected when I switch the computer on then the laptop doesn't load up - I get the little Ubuntu symbol to start with, but then the screen just goes black.
If the external monitor IS connected then it takes me to the screen where I get to choose which OS to boot. If I boot normally then I see the ubuntu symbol and then it goes black. If I choose recovery mode then it does some recovery and then it takes me to a command line. So I can see all of my files.
Sometimes it does something different when I switch it on and an error message appears on the laptop screen. But the screen is so fuzzy that I can't see what it says. I click on OK (I guess it says OK...) and it takes me to another error message - but I can't seem to get any further.
So that's the problem. If anyone can help me I will be very grateful. I'm actually not that intested in getting the external monitor to work - it's much more important that I undo whatever change I've made so that the laptop works properly again.
I think the important thing is that I can get to the command line, so I should be able to make any necessary change there.
Ubuntu :: Nautilus Goes Weird After Dual Monitor
Feb 17, 2010it is sometimes triggered when i activate dual monitor (i'm using nvidia-settings). Actually the entire computer seemingly changes its theme, but after simply running System > Appearance, all goes back to normal except for nautilus (that includes icons in the desktop). please see attached image.Logging out then logging back in solves the problem, but i don't want to log out just to correct the problem. Is there anything i need to restart to bring it back to normal?i've tried "compiz --replace" and "compiz --restart" and even "metacity --replace" but it doesn't do anything.by the way, i'm using ubuntu 9.10 64bits, using the default theme, nvidia driver (the default which comes with ubuntu 9.10),using compiz.

Mar 6, 2010I'm using two monitors, they're virtually placed next to each other so the virtual screen resolution is (1024+1280) x 800px. Now my mouse speed on the x-axis is automatically set higher, which is good if you permanently switch between both monitors all the time. But I don't need it, so how do I turn it off? It's kinda annoying if you're used to your "normal" mouse speed.Y-axis speed is still fine. also, is there a way do display the gnome-do dock on the right handed monitor? it places itself always on the left monitor....I'm using Mint 8 which is Ubuntu 9.10 with gnome 2.28.1

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Gaming With Wine And Dual Monitor?
May 3, 2010when i run an application full screen in wine then it spans both of my monitors, whereas i just want it on 1 monitor. I thought an easy solution to this would be to simply run the program in windowed mode instead of full screen. However, when in windowed mode the mouse cursor leaves the window, which isn't advantageous to gaming.
how to keep the mouse cursor in the wine window? Or does anyone know how to make full screen only use one monitor?

Ubuntu :: Dual Monitor Seperate X11 Sessions
Jun 12, 2010I've got two monitors setup and it seems the only way to get separate gamma and brightness settings working on separate screens is through separate X sessions.
The problem though is after setting up and configuring Compiz the second monitor only displays the wallpaper and lets me move my mouse onto it i don't get any gnome panels nor do i get a menu if i right click on the desktop which suggests that gnome doesn't load on the other monitor at all or is out of bounds of the resolution.
It seemed to go like this during the configuring of Compiz as the right monitor windows and such seemed to crash then since then its just been the symptoms I described.
I'm including my Xorg.conf incase its of any use.
Code:

Ubuntu :: How To Remove Dual Monitor Label
Sep 6, 2010I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with dual monitors enabled. Technically speaking, everything works just fine. There is one very annoying aesthetic issue, though. There is a label in the top left corner of each display that identifies the monitor (Dell 18", for example). The label does not disappear and is always on top. I had to move my panel to the bottom of the screen just to avoid the label. How can I remove/hide this label?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Skype In Dual Monitor With 11.04?

Is anyone else noticing the same?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: X11 Segfault With Tri Monitor Dual Gpu
Jul 31, 2011I have tried to setup a workstation with 3 monitors on two ati videocards, the goal being to span the desktop across all of them.
The process was not difficult at all, but after login X11 crashes and I am left with a console. I am fortunately able to login in safe mode, but I would like to ask for help in debugging this issue.
Here I will try to give as much detail as possible, starting with my system specifications:
Code:
The first card, the ATI Radeon HD 4650 is capable of running two monitors at the same time. The monitors, for all it matters, are three identical ACER P206HV 20" connected with their analog interface (due to missing cables which I will buy soon). Resolution 1600x900 each. My motherboard is an AsRock 870 Extreme3 mounting an AMD Athlon II X4 640 3 GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM.
When asked by Ubuntu, I installed the ATI Caralyst driver version 11.6 and set it up for using Xinerama.
As I said, this setup works fine if I login in safe mode, but crashes X11 otherwise (even in classical mode - no Unity). By inspecting the logs (attached) I found this (notice the segfault)
Code:
As a test, I tryed to configure Catalyst without Xinerama, an this works, but of course I end up with two separate desktop, which is not what I want. In this mode, xrandr seems to work correctly
Code:
After some research I found that XRandR does not support desktop spanning over multiple GPUs, so Xinerama is the only way to go in my case. Since the two are not compatible with each other, after login in safe mode I see that XRandR is disabled
Code:
One more test consisted in disabling the XRandR module in the config files, as found in some posts: edits in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:

Ubuntu :: Allow GNOME Use External Attached Monitor As Default Display?
Aug 11, 2010I am using ATI HD3200 graphics card, and running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on a laptop. It have VGA port so I can attach external LCD monitor to the laptop. I am using fglrx driver.
My question is how should I configure the xorg.conf file so that when I attached external monitor, the GNOME menu bar (Applications, Places and System, etc) will be put on the external monitor instead of laptop LCD monitor.
I have checked varies web resource that saying you can drag and drop the GNOME menu bar to the new screen, it never worked. Someone also suggested to add new bar into the screen and GNOME will remember it, I can't even find the option to do that.
Ubuntu :: Dual Booting Default ?
Jul 25, 2011OK im new to linux and Ubuntu, I have windows 7 and Ubuntu dual bootin but ubuntu is the default. I would prefer windows 7 to be the default.
Dont get me wrong i love ubuntu now. great for what i need (a software for linux not windows)
I have followed these instructions
Quote:
You won't be able to change it from Windows. To change it from inside Ubuntu, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.
There will be a line that says
Code:
Simply change '0' to the number of your Windows install.
For example, if your grub has three entries and Windows is the third, change default to 2 (0 is the first entry, not 1).
But in the file it opens there is no text whats so ever so i dont know what to change.
