Dual Head in ubuntu

[tm37]

I have been trying to learn this and it is kicking my butt

So here is the xconfig

I have two dell e153 attachede to a 5200 FX

What changes do I need to make to this?

 

[n0cmonkey]

You can read.

Hint, add the second monitor and video card.

 

[hopejr]

It shouldn't have to be so hard.... I mean complicated

 

[bersl2]

OK, here's how this works:

xorg.conf abstracts various parts of configuring the display process, to allow complicated setups if needed.

A ServerLayout section acts like a display profile. You will need to modify that section.

A Screen section represents a viewable area. You will need to make a second one for the second desktop area. You can copy your current one and make a few changes.

A Device represents the framebuffer and the operations performable by a given piece of hardware. You will need a second one of these as well. Again, you can copy your existing one and make a few changes.

A Monitor represents an actual display. Again, you need a second one, but you can copy your existing one and make the necessary change.

Now, read the xorg.conf(5) man page, specifically the mentioned sections. You should notice that these sections I have mentioned fit together hierarchically.

Up for the sunday people.

For starters, you may want to start over again from scratch. There are too many identical entries in the config you posted (Section "Device" 4 times, Section "Screen" 4 times, etc).

You will need two separate Section "Device" entries, one for each display (example: Identifier "Nvidia0", Identifier "Nvidia1"). Each "Device" will have different screens (0, 1) but same BusID and driver.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia0"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia1"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 1
EndSection


Next you need seperate Section "Screen" entries for each display:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Nvidia0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Nvidia1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection


Finally, you will need ServerLayout to differentiate between the two screens:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Screen 1 "Screen1"
EndSection


This should give you identical desktops on both monitors.

EndSubSection
EndSection

Device "Nvidia1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"

This should give you identical desktops on both monitors.

I want a spanning desktop

I haven't done that before, so don't know for sure. I would suggest, however, that you attempt this first since it is easier overall. Afterwards, desktop-spanning shouldn't be so difficult.

 

[tm37]

Restarting!

 

[tm37]

OK That killed it

How do I remane it in command prompt

 

[AnonymouseUser]

To rename a file:

mv <file> <newfile>
mv /path/to/<file> /path/to/<newfile>

mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.original
or
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original

 

[tm37]

OK BRB

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Ok, looked into desktop spanning some. You will need to use the non-free nvidia driver (you are using the free nv driver now) with Xinerama enabled. You can get the latest non-free driver from Nvidia (or possibly via apt-get). After installing the nvidia driver, you will have to edit xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver instead of nv (replace all instances of nv with nvidia) and add Load "glx" to Section "Module".

To enable Xinerama, add the following to xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "True"
EndSection

If the displays are reversed, you can use the rightof or leftof option to correct it, like so:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Screen 1 "Screen1" leftof "Screen0"
EndSection

 

[bersl2]

never mind

 

[SUOrangeman]

GRRR. You guys are gonna make me boot up my machine. AnonymousUser *almost* has it. You do need the full nVidia driver. I know nVidia *used* to offer a DEB package, but I think they've rolled it all into a single file now.

SUO's full /etc/X11/xorg.conf (key TwinView lines in BOLD, customize to taste) ...
