My desktop has 3 monitors, 1 running on the Intel onboard card and 2 on the TN-502 card.

When I list the xrandr -q command only the Onboard monitor is listed.

xrandr -q

Yes Vits, see bellow.

Your can use Alt + printScreen(SysRq), to “shot” only the active window.

I don’t know if I need to edit the x11 conf file manually including the other 2 monitors.

Are your not in the Wayland session? It is default!

To Xorg configs were useful, your need use Xsession.

Look at the error log while loading Xorg config,

[ 1033.558] Module class: X.Org Video Driver

Any idea?

8

The 32-bit architecture (your’ve downloaded wrong version)?

9

Vits, I copied the drive provided by the manufacturer, I will install siliconmotion again.

10 
[vits@localhost drivers]$ file siliconmotion_drv.so 
siliconmotion_drv.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

And your have placed it in /usr/lib64/ …

11

Makes sense! I’ll try.

12

If your will have no success, your may want to open new topic, like “how to make 32-bit driver work…” maybe someone know.
Good Luck!

13

OK, I’m installing everything from beginning, because I had already moved so much that it is easier to start over.

Thanks for attention.

14

I installed the OS again, when I create the xorg.conf file presents this error.

Summary

  • Wayland
  • Xorg

    • Both not works by default (before intervention too) for these two displays. Correct?

    Manufacturer’s driver for Linux is 32-bits…

    The Kernel have some driver too:

    Kernel driver in use: sm501

    And, aside, when Topic Starter are using xorg.conf to somehow make this setup work (after reinstall), there is now “Permission Denied”…

    @xtym, your’ve helped that person with “disguised” video card. Please, do your’ve any ideas?

    Hi @vits95 really i think i can not do best that you are doing with him really, but I think that also you 2 can try adding manually the BusID into a own file i.e. called 10-monitors.conf and place into the route /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

    From the driver sm501 is load there should be necesary indicate the driver and the BUSID and create a file like this one created from other user here in the forum.

    You need indicate manually the structure like indicate in the post refered but you will need indicate every screen his driver and his bus id the file will need contain the 3 monitors (the one with driver intel and the 2 others with the driver sm501)

    The structure should be according the indicate before and refereed in the arch wiki in the section of manual configuration and multiple monitors.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Monitor_settings

    To know a bit more about BusID you can read man xorg.conf

    Other thing is that sometimes the valor hexadecimal of PCI port doesn’t match with the decimal vaule of decimal of BUSID according this post (really i don’t know this part ) where the last user needed change the value to decimal to do it works

    So i am sorry that i can not help you2 more here, but the only way looks fix manually a own conf.

    Regards.

    Thanks for this informations xtym, I’ll try configure manually, adding BusID!
