http://crunchbanglinux.org – I frequently use my laptop with a dual monitor or projector, so I hope somebody can help me here. In alpha 1, I used to be able to control a second display with xrandr very easily. In alpha 2, something goes wrong. Whenever I activate the second display, using either xrandr at the command line, or grandr, I get an almost completely unresponsive system.Here's the output of xrandr with the second monitor plugged in:Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0 (HowTos)

Today I was trying to connect my second monitor to my notebook.

Whenever I come to work I type

xrandr --auto xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1

This gets my second display working, however now I get

xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA1

For reference here is the output of xrandr,

Laptop video output 3 years 43 weeks ago

Hello,

I am trying to configure my laptop to behave correctly when dealing with video output. It has a connector for a base that features extra video outputs. Such hardware is detected and available in the display configuration, while I do not own such base and do not plan on getting one.
