Title:
dual monitors not working
Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I am using ubuntu 14.04 lts 64bit.
my kernel version is 3.13.0-53-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 13 18:10:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
I have two monitors which are 1440x900 and both have only one vga support.
I video card is NVIDIA Corporation G96 [GeForce 9400 GT] with one hdmi,one dvi and one vga support.
I use one vga(works well) and one dvi (I use a dvi2vga).
First, the two monitors are working well in my windows.
When I was in ubuntu,one resolution is 1440x900 and other one(which use div support) can only choose 1024x768.
I have changed the nvida drivers,there is one driver can ever support 1366x768,but there is no 1440x900.
Through the internet,
I found 'xrandr'.
this can add a 1440x900 mode by munual.
xrandr --newmode '1440x900_60.00' 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DVI-I-2 1440x900_60.00
xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1440x900_60.00 --right-of DVI-I-1
It can make both work at 1440x900.
but it was not stable,especially after I locked my screen.
It always crashed or stuck
