Triple-head setup advice sought

2012-04-06 Thread martin f krafft
Dear X.org people, since XRandR still cannot handle multiple GPUs and it's getting harder and harder to use Zaphod (performance, incompatibilities, etc…), I would like to investigate new options. Julien said that there are 3+ head cards out there that work with X/Linux's Free drivers. My Matrox G

Persistent triple-head setup

2014-06-23 Thread martin f krafft
Hello, I just got my triple-head setup across three GPUs working. Read below for the steps, in case you are struggling as well. Is there a way to write all this setup into xorg.conf, rather than having to execute xrandr-commands from xinitrc or similar? The reason is that I want the same setup fo

XRandR 1.4 multi-GPU performance

2014-06-23 Thread martin f krafft
Hey, with my new XRandR 1.4 multi-head setup, I am noticing graphical artefacts and screen damages, and sometimes a sluggish performance. Sure, this can be due to multi-GPU support being new and unpolished, but I am also wondering a bit whether I am just misunderstanding the terminology. What doe

Hi Andreas, Thank you for taking your time to reply. I've since followed up having found the problem, and I think it must be one of the DP ports on the graphics card. Now, you write: > Perhaps unthinkable, but the connectors of the card might be > implemented / wired up asymmetrically, e.g. due

Missing letters after suspend

Hi, I am not sure the following is an X.org issue, but I hope you'll let me start here. Please see attached screenshot. This is on a laptop and occurs occasionally after I bring the system back from suspend. Everything works just fine, except certain letters (it's always a different set it seems)

Hello, My window manager uses the number keys to switch between tags (it's "awesome"). I noticed that for a while, I was no longer able to move a client to tag "2" (Mod4-Shift-2), while moving to other tags worked fine. Also, I could still switch to tag "2" (Mod4-2), so it was something about the

Hey there, On my Thinkpad T490, something is keeping the display awake such that XScreensaver will not lock the machine, and DPMS will never let the screen turn off. There are lots of suspects, with the trackpad, the nipple, and a Lenovo wireless keyboard&mouse attached. However, even after

I don't frequent Youtube, and I don't generally see ads. I might have Reddit open, so that could be it. Not exactly happy about this, and I will take it over to Mozilla and see what they say. At least this should be configurable. -- @martinkrafft | https://matrix.to/#/#madduck:madduck.net se
