Hi All,
I have a freshly installed 4.8 amd64 system and I was trying to get it
set up in dual head mode. I know this has been discussed before and I
have searched through the archives on marc, but for some reason I
haven't been able to get it fully working.
The current state of this are as such, when i fire up gdm or startx, it
looks like it's working, I have to screens, the login in gdm comes up on
the left monitor and not on the right. The right monitor however has
the same pattern as when you run the "X -config<xorg_file>" command,
kind of a pixely checker pattern. I can move the curser from the left
monitor over to the right, but then it's stuck in that monitor, I can't
move it back to the left monitor. Additionally at that point I can't
<CTRL><ALT><backspace> to kill X and I can't even use<CTRL><ALT><F-KEY>
to switch to a non-X desktop/screen.
Any and all help greatly appreciated. My xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log are
below.
Thanks in advance.
Aaron
