Created attachment 89817 [details] Screenshot of Display applet Currently, it reads "Unknown Display" in Ubuntu's "Display" applet when `intel-virtual-output` is running (see attachment). Any chance to show something sensible there, perhaps even related to the "real" displays that are attached to the virtual ones?
I think it gets the useful name from the EDID, so commit 36ac68bedd3b30d7bdf0f40b438b45a7c4dec9e5 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Tue Nov 26 09:41:42 2013 +0000 intel-virtual-output: Clone remote EDID for virtual outputs References: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72020 Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> should make things prettier.
Indeed seems to do the job...
Thanks, works for me. Would you consider marking somehow that these are actually virtual displays, perhaps by appending/prepending an asterisk?
I think that may be beyond my powers (since I don't directly control the string). You can ask gnome-control-center if they would consider adding additional information. I guess it might be a ConnectionType property which we could add (to xf86-video-intel) - that would need some coordination.
Oh. Well, no need to bother then. After all, I do know that it's a virtual display, but the regular user just expects everything to work out of the box and would not care about these details ;-)
