Dual Monitor
 How to Dual Monitor.I will focus on light desktops: Fluxbox, Openbox, and IceWM with two monitors.This works well with KDE, GNOME, and XFCE as well. Note: This how-to works on Dapper, Edgy, and Feisty Fawn with the newest nVidia beta drivers. Note: I wrote a simple bash script to start your dual monitors from a GUI. See here: Dual Monitor GUI Edit: I changed the names of the servers the names of the servers in the script. I will edit my example xorg.conf example in this post. I left the attached xorg.conf as is as this is a template only. This is NOT another how to on twinview or xcinerama. If that is what you want, see here: How to Twinview Twinview Options How to Xinerama Twinview/xicnerama work well enough with the "big three" (KDE/Gnome/XFCE), but I am interested in a lighter weight desktop (Fluxbox, Openbox, IceWM). Here is a nice How-to on "dual monitors" Dual Monitors Note: This wiki page is a more detailed overview of multiple monitors, configuration of X, and is an adaptation from the Gentoo wiki. What do I mean the by Dual monitor? Two "independent" monitors. The mouse can move freely beetween the monitors, but you can not drag a window or application from one window to another. (Twinview/xcinerama is described as "One large monitor"). Preamble; Quote:
Overview of how it works: From the CLI, to start a window manager Code:
# startx /usr/bin/name_of_window_manager -- :2 -layout SERVER_NAME 2. Use full path to the window manager. 3. The -layout option tells X which server configuration to use. The server configurations are in xorg.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) [See below]. 4. The -- :2 option starts X on a virtual terminal. Just like the CLI, you can run multiple instances of X at the same time, up to 4, more if you tweak your configuration. Ctrl-alt-F7 for first instance of X Ctrl-alt-F8 for second instance of X Numbering of screens starts with 0. Thus the first X session is 0. The first monitor is also 0 The second monitor is 1. Thus :0.0 refers to the first monitor on the first X session. :0.1 is the second monitor on the first X session. :1.0 is the first monitor of the second X session...... Paths to various window managers: Quote:
There is a very nice How-to for Icewm on the Debian forums (Thank you Lou): Debian How to IceWM The "problems" with twinview/xcinerama and light desktops are: With wallpapers and panels stretched across both screens (not as problematic in Gnome, KDE, XFCE, or IceWM) and windows opening in the middle of the two monitors , split across both screens. You can make a large, dual monitor wallpaper with GIMP. Advantage of Twinview is you can drag windows between both monitors. Most of these problems are solved with using what I am calling "Dual monitors", but you lose the ability to drag windows between monitors. On the subject of panels: You can of course launch kicker, gnome-panel, or the XFCE panel. These all work, although I have had problems with kicker outside of KDE. There are several light panels and If I have the energy I will write (briefer) how to's on some of these panels. fbpanel is, again in my opinion, the best and most easily customized (fbpanel is NOT related to fluxbox) and it allows transparency. perlpanel is also VERY NICE, but no transparency. pypanel is nice and also allows transparency BUT it does not seem to work for me (crashes) with multiple monitors . OK, now for the hard stuff. The bad news is you will have to configure X for yourself. The good news is you can follow this template. First, install the nVidia driver and configure X for twinview with the Nvidia driver. This part is fairly straight forward and is covered elsewhere both in the Ubuntu forums and elsewhere. This will give you a "basic" xorg.conf on which to build. This approach should work with other graphics cards and drivers just fine (no guarantees....). The idea is to start with a working xorg.conf using twinview/xicnerama and whatever drivers/settings work with your monitors, keyboard, and mouse. (the open drivers for nVidia card do not work with my card, thus I use the nVidia driers). I will also not cover installation or configuration of Fluxbox, openbox, icewm, XFCE, panels, etc in any further detail. Now the fun begins: 1. Backup your xorg.conf Code:
# cd /etc/X11 # sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.org # .org for "original" working copy Code:
# sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf I have posted my entire xorg.conf below (as a text file) and will go through each section here. Section 1: Starting comments. This is a representation of our hardware. Change it to reflect yours. For example your mouse may be USB rather then a PS2 port, what are your monitors and where do they sit?, etc. You will find some of the information in your existing xorg.conf, this serves as a quick reference. Quote:
Section 2: Files section. Do not cut and paste my files section. Use your current section as is. Quote:
Quote:
DO NOT forget the following line in Server Flags. Option "DefaultServerLayout" "twinview" Several Modules are included for reference, but commented out. Use them (uncomment) if you need them. If you are unsure, leave this section alone. Section 4: Input section. This configures your keyboard and pointer (mouse/touchpad). Do not cut and paste mine but rather use your own sections as is. Quote:
Quote:
Also update the web site where you found your sepcs in the comments sections. (Section 1). Quote:
Quote:
1. Amount of video ram. You may have more or less. 2. VendorName. 3. BusID. Do not use mine, but check the BusID in your xorg.conf.. 4. Metamodes. I use a resolution of 1600x1200. You man need to reduce this to reflect your monitors and preferences. ? "1280x1024,1280x1024". I believe you can have different resolutions on each monitor if you like ie "1600x1200,1280x1024" 5. Default depth. I use 24, you may want to change this. 6. You may need to change TwinViewOrientation to "Rightof" 7. If you do not want to see (or do not use) the nVidia logo uncomment the "noLogo" line. I left it for now so you will have confirmation you are using the nVidia driver. 8. Ditto with other options. 9. In your modes sections you can use modlines if you like. If you do not know what a modline is, do not worry about it for now. 10 NOTE DUALSCREEN and DELL are ALL-CAPS. Save your changes and exit gedit. Back up your new xorg.conf. Code:
# sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak Now the moment of truth !! To start a desktop: Code:
# startx /usr/bin/path_to_window_manager -- :2 For fluxbox with dual monitors use the layout flag: Code:
# startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :2 -layout DUAL Welcome to Fluxbox on Dual monitors. To start fluxbox, Single Monitor:: Code:
# startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :2 -layout FAIL This will start fluxbox with a single monitor. EDIT These scripts are outdated and are incorporated in the bash script. I left these scripts as examples. Scripts: As I said, I launch my windows managers from the CLI, no KDM/GDM/XDM here. If you boot to say GDM you, no problem. just Ctrl-Alt-F1 to tty1, log in, viola. My start scripts will not interfere in any way with GDM if you boot to GDM. GDM runs on display :0.0, all my script start on higher displays. I am afraid you will have to look elsewhere if you want to configure KDM/GDM/XDM. Note: I use xscreensaver and numlockx for all sessions. Either install these applications or comment out the lines. Note: With openbox I use fbpanel. (Trying to wean myself of panels as I know they are not needed, esp with *Box or IceWM [Unlike Gnome/KDE], but they are so pretty and have configured the clocks just tthe way I like.....) Again either install fbpanel or comment out the appropriate lines. For your convince I included other panels in the openbox script, if you want any particular panel just remove the hash mark. XFCE panel does not need multiple enteries, the others do. Add the following aliases to ~./.bashrc : Code:
#Start scripts alias startflux='/home/your_user_name/.config/fluxbox/autostart.sh &' alias startopen='/homeyour_user_namei/.config/openbox/start &' alias startice='/home/your_user_name/.config/icewm/start &' Save these script in ~/.config Quote:
Fluxbox (Only one needed for Fluxbox) : autostart.sh Code:
#!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:1.0 /usr/bin/xscreensaver & DISPLAY=:1.0 /usr/bin/numlockx on & /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :1 -layout DUAL Openbox (Both scripts needed) : start Code:
#!/bin/sh startx /home/your_user_name/.config/openbox/autostart.sh -- :3 -layout DUAL autostart.sh Code:
#!/bin/sh #Screensaver and numberlock /usr/bin/xscreensaver & /usr/bin/numlockx & # Set BG image DISPLAY=:3.0 /usr/bin/fbsetbg -f /path_to_your_BG_Image.jpg DISPLAY=:3.1 -f /path_to_your_BG_Image.jpg # Start a panel DISPLAY=:3.0 /usr/bin/fbpanel & DISPLAY=:3.1 /usr/bin/fbpanel & # /usr/bin/xfce4-panel & #XFCE only needs this one line. # /usr/bin/perlpanel & # DISPLAY=:3.1 /usr/bin/perlpanel & # /usr/bin/kicker & # I had problems running kicker outside of KDE #Start Openbox /usr/bin/openbox & DISPLAY=:3.1 /usr/bin/openbox start Code:
#!/bin/sh startx /home/your_user_name/.config/icewm/autostart.sh -- :4 -layout DUAL autostart.sh Code:
#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/numlockx & DISPLAY=:4.0 /usr/bin/xscreensaver & /usr/bin/icewm-session & DISPLAY=:4.1 /usr/bin/icewm-session I tried configuring GDM, but was unable to pass all these options to X from GDM. Did not try KDM/WDM/XDM. With these scripts in place you can start the window managers from the command line with a simplified command: Fluxbox : Code:
# startflux Code:
# startopen Code:
# startice Because we can (in Linux, not Windows). My wife likes KDE, I prefer Fluxbox. She prefers a much lower resolution and dual monitors give her a headache. Why GDM if she uses KDE? She likes the picture better and I have not configured KDM with the same picture. Go figure, just another example of mix and match Linux. Solution: Quote:

Re: Dual Monitor
bump.
There is a second post in these forums which is my mistake (clicked submit rather then preview). Requested the other post (copy) be removed. Posted this note to put this one on the top.

Thought I would post my working version of xorg.conf and this link: http://ozlabs.org/~jk/docs/mergefb/
This article and the link(above) really helped out a lot with understanding the dual monitor setup process. thanks bodhi.zazen |

Re: Dual Monitor
Ok, i dont get this to work. I get error "no screens found"
I have an idea that i either missed something or the 2 identical screens makes the error. Or i am just blind  Would apriciate cause im REALLY looking for this I use a nvidia 6800 if that helps. xorg.conf here: Code:

Re: Dual Monitor
First, do you have the nvidia drivers installed?
Nvidia drivers If so, try the attached file. The default will start twinview. Do you know how to test the other configurations? Code:
startx --:2 -layout DUALSCREEN Code:
startx --:2 -layout P260

Re: Dual Monitor
I will try to look at it again tonight.
In the mean time, I started this thread advising you start with a working copy of xorg.conf with twinview. Could you post your original xorg.conf (the one you backed up) with twinview working? I you would be so kind as to post as an attachment as it makes this thread hard to read with long xorg.conf files posted.  If you do not have twinview working, follow the links at the start of my post and get twinview up first.

Re: Dual Monitor
argh sorry it got this late. My own punishment. Well. I'll post the working twinview xorg.conf here as an attachment. I can see this 1st page of the thread is kinda huge now.
 hope this can solve the issue. Twinview was the one where you could mode windows across monitors as far as i remember. And that i am able to do. //CromagDK |

Re: Dual Monitor
Im not sure ehm... My twinview works fine? Want me to check with your conf if twinview works with that to ?
Edit well, it works. Just the wrong side. I have to go left to go to the screen on the right  And kb layout is weird.//CromagDK Last edited by CromagDK; September 22nd, 2006 at 10:40 AM.. |
