Dual Monitor Support With Xinerama HowTo:
The following HowTo attempts to enable Dual Monitor support by utilizing the Xinerama function built into Xorg.
System Requirements:
A Dual-Output Graphics card
Two Monitors (works best if they are the same resolution, but different resolutions WILL work)
A recent version of Xorg.
Now get ready for some hardcore copy and pasting .

1. Open up Xorg.conf using ONE of the following commands:
Gnome (Ubuntu):
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
KDE (Kubuntu):
Code:
kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Xfce4 (Xubuntu):
Code:
gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Command-Line Based:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. Navigate to the "Device" Section, and copy the entire Section. Paste what we just copied to the end of the "EndSection" line. (essentially duplicating the entire Section)
Example:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier    "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)
"Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"  

EndSection
        
Section "Device"
Identifier    "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection
3. Now we edit the 'Identifiers' for both sections so that they would be different from each other:
Code:
Section "Device"
 Identifier    "0 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"  
EndSection
        
Section "Device"
 Identifier    "1 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection
4. Next, we have to add one "Screen #" to each section. So the result would look something like this:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier    "0 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"
 Screen      0
EndSection
        
Section "Device"
Identifier    "1 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"
 Screen      1
EndSection
The following lines are recommended to be added to BOTH Device Sections, however, some of them may be unnecessary.
Code:
Option "DDCMode" "True"
Option "MonitorLayout" "primary monitor,secondary monitor" #replace primary monitor with the following:
Ati Driver:
NONE   -- Not connected
CRT   -- Analog CRT monitor
TMDS   -- Desktop flat panel
LVDS   -- Laptop flat panel

i810 Driver:
CRT -- Cathode Ray Tube
LFP -- Local Flat Panel
DFP -- Digital Flat Panel
TV
CRT2
LFP2
DFP2
TV2
NONE -- Not connected
NOTE: The following sub-steps are ONLY for people who would like to enable Xinerama on TWO DIFFERENT graphics cards.

4.1. Execute the following command in terminal:
Code:
 lspci -X | grep VGA

If you have two graphics cards connected, then that command should return two lines like the example below:
Code:
 PCI:1:5:0 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)
PCI:1:2:0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller]


4.2 Now notice the PCI number returned by that command. What the PCI number does is tell the computer where the graphics card is located. That information is represented in your Xorg.conf file as the "BusID" Since you have TWO graphics cards, then there must be TWO separate "BusID" lines.

4.3 So, replace ONE of the BusID with what we just copied.
Example:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier    "0 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
 BusID        "PCI:1:5:0"
 Screen      0
EndSection
        
Section "Device"
Identifier    "1 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
Driver        "ati"
 BusID        "PCI:1:2:0"
 Screen      1
EndSection
Note: For simplicities' sake, do NOT change the Identifier for the Second card. The Identifier is just used for match, what it actually SAYS does NOT matter.

4.4. Follow the rest of the guide.
5. Now, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the following Sections (if confused, check my completed xorg.conf file at the bottom of the page):
  • "Monitor"
  • "Screen"
6. In both of the "Screen" Sections, change the Device and Monitor line to match the corresponding Identifiers when changed in previous steps:
Example:
Code:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Main Screen"
    Device        "0 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
    Monitor        "Main Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth        1
        Modes        "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
# Subsections for other display depths not shown...
EndSection
 
Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Second Screen"
    Device        "1 ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 330M/340M/350M (RS200 IGP)"
    Monitor        "Second Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth        1
        Modes        "1024x768"
    EndSubSection
# Subsections for other display depths not shown...
EndSection
7. Next, locate the "ServerLayout" Section, and edit the Screen line to match the identifier for your main monitor:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Default Layout"
    Screen      0  "Main Screen"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"
    InputDevice     "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
8. We need to add another Screen line similar to mine, but make sure that the "Second Screen" and "Main Screen" matches your identifiers for you "Screen" sections that we edited in step 2 to 5:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Default Layout"
    Screen        0   "Main Screen"
    Screen       1   "Second Screen" RightOf "Main Screen"
    InputDevice    "Generic Keyboard"
    InputDevice    "Configured Mouse"
    InputDevice     "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice     "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
9. Finally, in order to enable Xinerama when Xorg startup, add the following line to the "ServerLayout" Section:
Code:
Option "Xinerama" "true"
10. Save the file, and restarted X (ctrl+alt+backspace), or reboot.

You now should have Dual Monitor enabled. If not, then please post your problem, and I'm sure someone will help.

I followed this best I could, but it didn't work. Here is my xorg.conf file, have a look and tell me what I should do.
Code:

#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated

Maybe you'd want to try the proprietary nvidia drivers (nv has no 3d accel). If your card is in actuality a dual head card - you'd want twinview instead of xinerama

I know that I could use twinview using Nvidia's drivers. But since i have 2 geforce 6600 gt's ( one DVI and one VGA plug per card. ) I would like to be able to use one card per monitor versus having one of the cards laying in the computer useless.

Re: Xinerama
the multimonitor configuration worked perfectly. I'm re-visiting Linux after a few years away. gotta get my typing precision up to standards again, I did get caught in sloppy naming -- display , monitor , side main etc etc.
thanks for the advice, again, I'm up with 2 and that was the goal!

Read the documentation that comes with the NVidia drivers.

Re: Xinerama
I have a Toshiba satellite, I think its a 2400 series been running xp hone and in xp I have the option of the second monitor showing the same thing as the LCD or extending my desktop to see something different. I use the extended desktop for presentation so I can see whats coming up and they just see the slide.

any way I setup dual boot and installed edgy last night when I connect to a CRT I hit fn+F5 and can cycle through LCD, CRT, LCD+CRT, TV all works fine but the LCD+CRT shows the same thing I want the extended desktop for presentations. I followed this guide and now when I startup I only have one screen and fn+F5 no longer works. and one more minor issue I'm not to worried about, in xp I had LCD+TV with different resolution

any suggestions?

any way I setup dual boot and installed edgy last night when I connect to a CRT I hit fn+F5 and can cycle through LCD, CRT, LCD+CRT, TV all works fine but the LCD+CRT shows the same thing I want the extended desktop for presentations. I followed this guide and now when I startup I only have one screen and fn+F5 no longer works. and one more minor issue I'm not to worried about, in xp I had LCD+TV with different resolution

any suggestions?
here is my xorg.conf



thanks in advance
Change this line at the very end of the file:
Code:
Screen 1 "1 Default Screen"
to:
Code:
Screen "1 Default Screen" RightOf "0 Default Screen"
you can change the 'RightOf' part to either leftof, above, or below, based on the physical placement of the monitors.

Re: Xinerama
I apologize for making such a simple error I thought I had that in there. However the FN+F5 to cycle display modes does not work so I must have the monitor connected and cycle to LCT+CRT before X starts, a minor annoyance but is there a way to get my function keys back. other then that it seems to work I will have to go test it on a projector now instead of an old CRT.

Thanks a lot

I myself can't use the FN keys on my laptop (the key doesn't even register), so I can't really help you. Good luck!
