I am using a special configuration of monitors on some computers with two monitors. On old setup with NVidia graphics card I used xorg.conf
with two screens setup. I was able to start different windows managers on each monitor, because one was DISPLAY :0.0 and another was DISPLAY :0.1.
Now I try to migrate from CentOS5 to CentOS7 and also computers have onboard Intel graphics instead of NVidia.
Whatever I try I only get DISPLAY :0.0. xdpyinfo
says that the number of screens is 1 and dimensions of that screen are combined dimensions of both monitors.
There is no more xorg.conf in CentOS7. I would rather use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
directory where I could put parts of xorg.conf, which are special.
How could I start xorg in that way that each separate screens and not one combined display? I want screens :0.0
and :0.1
.
I used some xrandr commands to rotate one of the screen, etc. Can I add as display with xrandr?
xrandr --output DP2 --mode 1920x1200 --above eDP1
, where eDP1 is my laptop's screen and DP2 is the external monitor.
