Testing on an aspire one netbook. Using daily ISO from NOV 25. - tried using xrandr... shows what I have but when I tried to put screens side by side it just gave me a usage screen. Man page was no help it seemed to indicate I was doing things correctly. - installed grandr and was able to put the external monitor to side. Mouse moves freely from one monitor to the next. Upper panel can span both monitors. Applications like parole that can go full screen with no decorations grab only one monitor. I have not installed presenter or lyricue to see if they deal properly with the separate monitors. (control panel on one and display on the other) Are there slide show apps that can use this too? I am just thinking what might be useful for live performance... Lyricue would be happy with two computers, one for control and the other for display anyway, but dual monitor would be more portable.
Xrandr shows everything as screen 0 only. Grandr shows output as cloned with Extend "greyed" out. I don't seem to be able to get the two monitors to show up as two workspaces. Probably because there is only one screen. The workspace panel applet shows only the apps on the one screen... which ever screen is left or above. Still, for more screen real estate it works fine. QjackCtl, Hydrogen and Ardour are much easier to use with two screens... just move the mouse from side to side. Applications can be placed on the screen who's geometry best fits. I will install and test the two programs above and see if they work. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
