Re: How to mirror display

thought I would add a few handy links:

Xorg
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau#Dual_Head

nVidia:
tv-out
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ing_TV-out
multi monitor
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … e_monitors

Nouveau
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau#Dual_Head

Bumblebee
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … e_monitors

Fglrx
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … inerama.29

ATI:
tv-out
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#TV_out
multi monitor
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … Head_setup

that should cover the popular drivers & setups.
I included links to multi monitor setups because people have found that configuring tv-out in this manner seems to work either better or just as well & also some drivers don't give tv-out but have multi-monitor.

You need to give way more info dude & all of this would have been found via a good search on duckduckgo

we need logs & config examples rather than just xrandr output!!

Help us help you otherwise you get dropped.

What have you tried?  This is very well covered in the wiki.
