dmesg
Here is my dmesg in case that is needed.
I should note that each monitor works fine separately, and if I change outputs (like make the other monitor DVI-0) then that one will come up as the main one and the other will be blank. I tried changing the mode on the one that was not working with xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1600x1200 --right-of DVI-0 but then both monitors flicker and the one that was working comes back with pinstripes and the other one is still blank and I'm forced to reboot the box. Fixed with an upstream kernel. |
Created attachment 795624 [details] Xorg.0.log Description of problem: Bought a shiny new monitor, plugged it in to my second DVI port, box came up and I couldn't see shit. GDM appeared to be sending something to one of the monitors, but it was just the background. So I installed lightdm. Box comes up, viola I can actually see a login prompt, but only on one monitor. I log in (to gnome3) and I get the same thing that I saw with GDM. Fine fuck you gnome, I'll use openbox. Openbox comes up but again it only displays on one monitor. The second monitor acts like it is getting a signal (the light is green and such) but it is blank. xrandr acts like it's working [josef@localhost ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3600 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 DisplayPort-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-1 connected 1680x1050+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 297mm 1680x1050 60.6*+ 1600x1200 60.0 1400x1050 74.9 59.9 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 but it's really not. DVI-1 is the one that's not outputting anything. I've tried to force it to wake up by doing things like xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --left-of DVI-0 but nothing. Here is my card 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde XT [Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition] here are my versions Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.10-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 29 19:05:45 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.1.0-5.20130408git6e74aacc5.fc19.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.14.2-9.fc19.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.2-9.fc19.x86_64 I'm attaching my Xorg.0.log. I'll experiment with different ports and such and see if that makes a difference, but so far just moving the DVI connectors around has just changed which monitor is the one that works.
