Hi everybody,
I tried dual monitor setup with this page: https://www.maketecheasier.com/how-to-setup-dual-monitors-with-xrandr/ But still I can not active my Notebook Secondary VGA port with xrandr. How can I enable the left side notebook VGA port? Thanks in advance. |

Hi first use xrandr(1) to find out the "mode" and the output then: xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode mode --left-of output Anyway the man(1) xrandr(1) is your friend. -- Hugo A. http://hugos.tk |
Thanks dear

But you have only one output detected, so no luck anyway. Either something is wrong with your setup or your hardware is not supported. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff |

While you have "unknown product" in dmesg output vga1 is unlikely to work in X. Sorry that's not much help... Fred |
Thanks For Hints,
I tried 3 month ago FreeBSD on my notebook and it supported by it, Does it possible to copy its driver to OpenBSD from FreeBSD?
