Hi everyone.
I'm trying to mirror my display, but whenever I do nothing shows on the TV and the main display becomes unusable until I unplug the HDMI.
I'm using Arch on a Surface Book with Performance Base.
I've modified 20-intel.conf, 20-modesetting.conf and 10-monitor.conf. The configurations below allowed me to mirror in Debian, but not since I switched to Arch.
Many thanks for any help.
20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Option "TearFree" "true"
Option "DRI" "true"
EndSection
20-modesetting.conf
GNU nano 2.9.8 20-modesetting.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
10-monitor.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "eDP1"

Read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code
...and what is "Powerbase"?
Moving to NC...

Apologies for the image.
Whoops, it's Performance Base.

Never used xorg.conf files for screen mirroring purpose.
I believe you can do all you need with xrandr (universal) or kscreen (kde component) or use any other tool that utilizes xrandr capabilities for screen manipulation.
You can safely delete your xorg.conf Xorg does not need it for running novadays

I don't know whether it's a copy-and-paste error, but "20-modesetting.conf" is missing an "EndSection" at the end.

Output of "xrandr -q" and also try to toggle the compositor (SHIFT+Alt+F12), might be a forgotton gl viewport update.

Thanks for the help everyone. I forgot to post my 10-monitor.conf. I've updated the original post.

Thanks for the info about the .conf files. I have actually tried changing the resolution with xrandr but I got the same problem.

Cheers for that. Was pasted from my notes. Updated.

xrandr gives mostly the same as what's in 10-monitor.conf:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3000 x 2000, maximum 32767 x 32767
eDP1 connected primary 3000x2000+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 290mm x 190mm
3000x2000 59.99*+
2560x1600 59.99
2056x1368 59.98
1920x1080_60.00 59.96
1368x912 59.83
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
SHIFT+Alt+F12 doesn't appear to do anything.

a) remove the 10-monitor.conf
b) that's w/o the TV attached
c) you're running KDE, aren't you? The window shadows etc. should turn off. The question is how it behaves w/o the compositor when trying to clone the display.
