Re: [Nouveau] Dual monitors have same identifier
The Xorg.0.log file is located usally in /var/log/, use less /var/log/Xorg.0.log se view the contents easily or your favorite tool. The log above will let you know what files are being used. You can start manually such as: startx -- -logverbose 6 This will capture additional information. Here are the links. http://www.x.org/wiki/ http://www.x.org/wiki/guide/ On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 12:42 PM, Peter Hewett wrote: > > From: Efrem Mc > Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 00:27:52 -0500 > > > 'Normally, the monitor-edid, can report the options as well as the > > journalctl -k on boot.

Should I just add one in /etc/X11/ ? Are you able to point me to a beginners guide? I couldn't find any example xorg.conf files, or howto guides for nouveau. And grep finds no 'identifier' string in Xorg.log.0.

Re: [Nouveau] Dual monitors have same identifier
Update xorg to 1.18 - this issue should be fixed there, I think. Alternatively try plugging things into different ports.

[Nouveau] Dual monitors have same identifier
Hi My desktop is Kubuntu 15.10 with GeForce GTX 970 and two monitors, using the Nouveau drivers. In System Settings > Display and Monitor, the two monitors are shown but with the same identifier, DVI-0. This is giving some problems such as random allocation of primary screen and no right click on one of the monitors. How can I get the monitors to have different identifiers?
