I just assembled a new computer with an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU and I am using the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor. I have an Asus P8Z68V-LE mother board that has a VGA, DVI and HDMI output. I have a Samsung monitor to the DVI port and an Acer monitor connected to the HDMI port.
Hi everyone, I'm not sure this is the right forum.
I am running the newest version of Ubuntu (12.04 LTS). I have 2 video cards that I am using that I would like to use to power my 2 displays, so that both monitors can be run on DVI. The first card is my primary card and is an ATI/AMD Radeon 4850 that is in a 16x PCIe slot. The second is a low-end NVIDIA PCI card.
So, I have two monitors. I set up dual monitors using the Nvidia configuration tool. They work fine, except that they are considered one monitor that is just my two resolutions added together.
I can't have it work this way, because I need to map my Wacom tablet to one of the screens. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks.
Running Nouveau driver on an nVidia GTS250 dual head card with 2560x1600 primary and 1920x1080 secondary displays connected. The login screen gets mirrored on both monitors at the lower of the two resolutions.
Background Info: I am using a Lenovo T61p. It usually runs multiple displays, but was able to be undocked, and running on just the laptops built in monitor. It is not dual boot - Ubuntu is the only OS on the T61p. It was running Ubuntu 10, 64 bit and now is running 11.4, 64 bit.
I am new to Ubuntu 12.04. A month or so ago I had ATI Radeon video card with plugs for two displays, and Ubuntu showd desktop on both. Then I switched to Nvidia GeForce GTX 680, also dual-display cable. But now it only diplays on one monitor. I made sure cable connections are tight; I know they're good cables because they worked with ATI card.
Any ideas how to get my dual displays back?
Need bit of help on this. I am using Linux mint 14 with xfce.
I have 2 monitors. LG and Samsung. One is attached to digital input and one to VGA input cable.
NVidia graphics card. The 2 monitors come up OK, and I see the Linux desktop on both of them just fine.
The problem is that they are duplicate of each others. Kinda' useless.
Graphics Card: NVidia 460 GTX.
Driver: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)
I have one DVI monitor, an old Dell LCD from 2005, and one VGA monitor, an Asus ML238H from 2010 whose HDMI port broke. The Asus is plugged into my graphics card's primary monitor slot and is the better monitor even though it is VGA but my computer defaults to the Dell.
So I have a lenovo T510 laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
I can run dual monitors with my main display and internal, but not internal and displayport.
The displayport is connected to a dp to HDMI converter, which works perfectly in windows.
In Ubuntu, when I connect the TV, the internal screen works, but the TV goes white, and the adapter gets really hot after a while.
