[Solved] Dualscreen - out of range

shiddo · 2018-04-25 16:24:37

Hello everyone,

I'm running KDE, with a GPU Nvidia GTX1050. It works perfectly except one thing.

When i'm logged, the resolution is correct, the DVI screen (the main) is to the left, the mouse block to the left edge of the screen. The hdmi screen is to the right. I want an extend screen configuration, it works well.

Except : When i'm booting / login in, the right screen is considered as the main screen. The cursor blocks to the left edge of this one, but he should do the translation with the left one. That not a "real" problem, but still...

The real problem is : when i'm login in, i have one chance to have the DVI screen with a black wallpaper. The right click don't work too. He is considered as the main screen, The taskbar appears, i can clic on it, it works, but nothing else on that screen. The HDMI screen works perfectly. If I logout / loggin, the black screen enter in OutOfRange mode. The problem appears not every time. 1/3 chances i would say.

I saw this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … ing_xrandr but i don't know, as i said, when i'm login in, it works. Except the black screen, who not appears everytime.

I really need advices on this. As the xrandr said : the screen 0 resolution is correct (2*1980 = 3840 x 1080)

Thanks !

Hi Shiddo,

VDU settings can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have issues you could try using arandar it's a GUI frontend for xrandar which will allow you to to configure your desired VDU settings, once set to your liking have arandar export a shell script of your config, just have the shell script run at login (autostart) or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf using the xrandar settings from that shell script.
Good Luck.

Hi cirrus,

VDU settings can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have issues

I have an empty folder in /ect/X11/xorg.conf.d (exept 00-keyboard). I'll try to use arandar later. Is it better to force configs settings by editing a new file 10-monitor.conf ? Maybe it's the reason why I have sometimes undetected resolution (OutOfRange)
Like this ?

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "VGA1"
    Option      "Primary" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "HDMI1"
    Option      "LeftOf" "VGA1"
EndSection

here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf it be somewhat similar to yours as we use same resoloutions but different identifiers. I see yours is missing both

    Option      "Position" "0 0"

and

    Option      "Position" "1920 0"

If all else fails you could also try deleting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as its not always needed
