Hello, |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
you can achieve this with xrandr. |
| 40 |
I have a similar setup and i run the following comand to set things up. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
You get an overview over your devices and their names by typing xrandr |
| 45 |
as user. |
| 46 |
I also do not have a xorg.conf but let xorg do the config by itself. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
So when i am on laptop only, xorg finds the right settings for me. If i |
| 49 |
am at home using the second screen, i wrote that command and some other |
| 50 |
stuff in a small script and linked that in a bin directory. So i type |
| 51 |
"dualscreen" and the script sets things up for me. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 54 |
xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output LVDS1 --auto |
| 55 |
display -window root /home/smash/wallpaper/Feuersbrunst_dual.jpg |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
So the result looks like this: |
