Subject: [gentoo-user] Dual screen display, one is offset
Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2006 00:37:48
Message-Id: 200608042033.00935.ddjones@riddlemaster.org
1 I have two Dell LCD widescreen displays (one's a 2005WFP, the other is a newly
2 purchased 2007WFP) that I've just configured for dual screen display. I'm
3 running an ATI videocard and using the fglrx driver. The monitor on the
4 right is using the DVI interface, while the screen on the left is using the
5 SVGA interface. I've gotten everything working except for the fact that the
6 left screen is shifted to the right. That is, there's a large black stripe
7 down the left side of the display which I cannot move the mouse into, and
8 there's an equal sized chunk missing off the right side (which is the middle
9 of the wide screen display). It's like the left half of the display is
10 shifted about 20% to the right. This was my primary display until I got the
11 second monitor today, and it did not display the offset problem when it was
12 configured for a single display. Here's my xorg.conf file:
