This script is indeed only compatible with intel integrated graphics.
Interestingly, it also kills my X. On Linux Mint with Intel integrated graphics here.
@pinkpigeonltd just curious, does it completely overwrite or append to existing 20-intel.conf
?
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
For those that are on the same situation, pretty much straight forward:
20-intel.conf
(located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
)<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

$ cat /etc/*-release
$ inxi -G
Could my problem be that I am unable to use your repository because of having an AMD iGPU rather than an Intel iGPU?
