Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

I am trying to setup dual head on my Dell with an External Flat Panel LCD.  I seem to be having some success but all I can get is clone of my normal monitor veiw on the external monitor i.e I can't seem to get xinerama to work.

According to this guy it is possible, under "How to get Dual Head working on Dell's Latitude c610"

http://www.aquarionics.com/category/linux

I have not followed hos config to the letter but I think I have the important parts

I do seem to be getting one warning:

Re: Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

you tried to use Xinerama. however, i would suggest you to try mergedFB instead. the advantages are that the whole screen is able to be 3d-accelerated if it is smaller than 2048x2048. also, i think it is much easier to set up.

my config file:

and some short explaination: i use layouts.

if you work without external screen, you start X with simple

startx

if you want to work at home with external screen that supports 1280x1024, the layout "home" is the choice:

startx -- -layout home

note that i set up the internal screen to run the same resolution as the external one. the reason is that i don't like one screen to move around while the other is fix. same size-screens are easier to use.

and if you have to do some presentation and the beamer supports usually only XGA, i have the "beamer" layout

startx -- -layout beamer

i will write the instructions in the wiki, so that we have this in the docs. hope you can wait some hours/days for the full docs.

Re: Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

forgot to explain mergedFB:

   
Option      "DDCMode" "true"

this is the magic: the X server tries to find out what monitor supports what modes wihtout you needing to specify much details about them. however this do not work with very old monitors. there you must specify the sync and refresh rates:

Option "CRT2HSync" "string"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "string"

   
Option      "MergedFB" "on"

this means the X server starts in MergedFB mode, no matter if something is connected to the ports or not. 

   
Option      "CRT2Position" "LeftOf"

this gives the position of the 2nd screen in relation to the first. this can be

Clone , LeftOf , RightOf , Above , and Below

where the Clone is the default. 

   
Option      "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768"

1st_screen_resolution-2nd_screen_resolution [1st_screen_resolution2-2nd_screen_resolution2 ...]

note that depending on the BIOS settings it may be that the external screen is detected as 1st screen.

before starting X, make sure only the internal screen is active ([Fn]+[F7] on my laptop to switch modes)

The impossible missions are the only ones which succeed.

Re: Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

It seems to be having trouble with fact that my external monitor is bigger than my primary one.

I know the external can do 1280x1024 but it keeps complaining about missing meta-modes (which are there) - i tried switching them but that  doesn't seem to have worked

Re: Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

The problem is the mismatch of my monitor sizes.

I had virtual set to *x768 which of course meant that it could not use a *x1024 resolutionon one screen!

Because the external is so much bigger than the laptop 1024x768 looks awful on it i have set the virtual to 2304x1024, which means I have to pan on my mian screen - which sucks a bit - plus i am getting some corruption when switching from one screen to the other, oh, and my touchpad extension aren't working...

aside from that...

Is there anyway to have it showing to different desktops instead of one virtual one?

two different desktops? what do you mean exactly? what you can do is to start another X server. this way, you will have 2 X servers running - one on the internal one on the external. the problem is that if you don't have 2 mice and 2 keyboards, you will only be able to use one at the time and switching is not possible (because while the one X server is running it will claim the mouse and keyboard for itself not allowing the second one to use the same hardware). however, this is only possible if you have real dual head support by the chipset. then you will be able to address the outputs of the graphics card with "BusID "1:0:0" " i think. not really sure about that.

here some literature:

Re: Dual Head/Monitor Setup on Dell C610

if you mean by different desktops just 2 different workspaces: this should be handled by the X apps itself. some have support for multi-screen, some do not. (e.g. in amarok you can set up on what screen do you want to have the note about the song. in xfce4 you can set individual wallpapers for each screen. (but you cannot set individual wallpapers for each screen in kde) ... and so on ... one example is that 3d-games (like bzflag) claims the whole merged FB and is therefore not really playable)
