Could my problem be that I am unable to use your repository because of having an AMD iGPU rather than an Intel iGPU?

This script is indeed only compatible with intel integrated graphics.

Interestingly, it also kills my X. On Linux Mint with Intel integrated graphics here.

Hebgbs commented 2 years ago

@pinkpigeonltd just curious, does it completely overwrite or append to existing 20-intel.conf?

pinkpigeonltd commented 2 years ago

Ah, that might be a hint as to why this is going wrong. It would appear that this is an overwrite, not an append.

I have found out meanwhile, that using xrandr I can see VIRTUAL1, however, it is marked as 'disconnected'.

So I tried adding a mode by using xrandr --addmode VIRTUAL1 1920x1080 and then `xrandr --output VIRTUAL1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP1

But this just corrupts my screen and crashes Cinnamon.

Hi, I follow up a thread I saw somewhere. Stupidly I didn't check compatibility before, now I crashed my x. is there a way to properly remove virtual display and have my x work fine again ?

thanks

revilofr commented 2 years ago

For those that are on the same situation, pretty much straight forward:

I have to remove 20-intel.conf (located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/)
And finally remove the git local directory <The path where you git cloned>/virtual-display/linux

Interestingly, it also kills my X. On Linux Mint with Intel integrated graphics here.

this is probably because it was the only remaining hardcoded device driver at this point. If none is provided X is smart and detects some. If one is provided autoconf may fail. Try again with something like this:

Section "Device"
       Identifier "amdgpu0"
       Driver "amdgpu"
Endsection

Section "Device"
       Identifier "IntelVirtual0"
       Driver     "intel"
       Option     "VirtualHeads" "1" 
EndSection
