https://bbs.archlinux.org – Here's an interesting observation.My setup is the following: notebook computer + external display. 2 user accounts A and B and I'm using GNOME 3.4 in fall-back mode.I think it's important to know, account A was created before I bought external display and started using it as a main one. Account B was created when I already used external display.So, I use only external display at 1920x1200 resolution:xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192VGA-0 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm   1920x12 (HowTos)

Stories similar to GNOME 3.4 changing remembered automount and display settings

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,

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1366x768+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm 1366x768

Hi, I'm having a little problem, and I couldn't find the answer in other post I've read.

I have an Acer Laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 on-board graphic card.

The best resolution for the notebook is 1366x768, since any other looks blured.

The issue:

Hey,

Alpha 2 dual-monitor problems 2 years 44 weeks ago

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.

I am not sure what setting to change for this but I open games like Dungeon Crawl or a Steam game and the game wants to take up both screens. Is there a way to have the game open just on one screen xrandr shows this.

xrandr or nvidia driver seems to be report the wrong display resolutions. Even though on boot my screens are at native resolution, all programs the query for available resolutions will only find up to 1024x768.
