The command I ran was 'xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of LVDS-0. The output of xrandr is: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 50.0 1280x1024 59.9 1280x960 59.9 1152x864 60.0 VGA-0 disconnected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800x600 (0x43) 56.2MHz h: width 800 start 832 end 896 total 1048 skew 0 clock 53.7KHz v: height 600 start 601 end 604 total 631 clock 85.1Hz
Sorry, correction to the last post - I had run xrandr without the external display connected accidentally: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 50.0 1280x1024 59.9 1280x960 59.9 1152x864 60.0 VGA-0 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 800x600 85.1* 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 85.0 75.0 72.8 59.9 720x400 85.0 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
xrandr multihead works with EXA, but not with ShadowFB. However, compositing performance under EXA is very poor.
I'm closing this bug since it is against a pretty outdated version of nouveau and xrandr multihead is working well for most people, nowadays. If you still have problems with recent nouveau, please reopen this bug and supply new info.
