Three monitor setup not working

Post by blaze157 »

I have a setup with 3 monitors. Two 1080p displays on the left and in the center with a 720p display on the right. For some reason wine doesn't work anywhere from the right side of the middle of the center monitor. The left monitor works fine and half of the center monitor works fine, but placing a window anywhere past the middle of the center monitor, including the right monitor, results in the window not being rendered properly and clicking on buttons does not do anything. By not rendering properly i mean that the window is either black, or just shows whatever was last displayed.

I have tried
running other Windows applications
disabling the right monitor.
running wine without the window manager
reinstalling wine

I am using Arch Linux x86_64 with a Nvidia 770 using the latest Nvidia drivers.

The Nvidia drivers don't always play nice... Since the proprietary drivers do not correctly supported the latest xrandr protocols. :roll:

Whats the output from:

Code: Select all

xrandr

grep -A 30 -R 'Section "Screen"' /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
on your system?

Re: Three monitor setup not working

Post by Bob Wya »

@blaze157,

So I checked the Nvidia Linux manual - which confirms that Keplar and above supports ≤4 monitors (under TwinView - well more like QuadView :wink: ).

But clearly wine is only seeing the setup as though your left-a-most monitor does not exist. So it's drawing to a canvas that is 1920+1280 x 1080.
Hence why your Wine windows get flaky - when they hit 2/3 across the middle screen (i.e. 1280 pixels) and the right-hand screen is persona non grata!

What's the output from:

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=+xrandr
winecfg
?

It might be worth trying to manually set the meta-modes for your Nvidia driver...
For my setup with laptop DisplayPort builtin (RHS) and an external 1440p TFT monitor (LHS) I've got:

Code: Select all

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-screen.conf

# xrandr -s 0 : both internal laptop display     & external monitor on
# xrandr -s 1 :      internal laptop display off & external monitor on
# xrandr -s 2 :      internal laptop display on  & external monitor off
# xrandr -s 3 : both internal laptop display     & external monitor on
Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "xscreen0"
    Device         "nvidia"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "Stereo" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "DP-2: 1920x1080 +2560+506, HDMI-0: 2560x1440 +0+0 ; DP-2: NULL, HDMI-0: 2560x1440 +0+0 ; DP-2: 1920x1080 +0+0, HDMI-0: NULL ; DP-2: nvidia-auto-select +2560+506, HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
	Option         "SLI" "Off"
    Option         "MultiGPU" "Off"
    Option         "BaseMosaic" "off"
    Option         "TwinView" "True"
	SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
I knocked that stuff together from the Nvidia manual (page linked above). Some stuff isn't need (e.g. TwinView defaults to True).

Is it supposed to output the same thing twice?

Ill try writing that Xorg file and see if it helps.

Yes.

However your output should definitely have a unified mode, created by the Nvidia driver, that spans multiple monitors. So something has gone wrong there... :cry:

For reference my output from running winecfg is:

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=+xrandr winecfg

The area 4480x1586 covers my external 2560x1440 HDMI monitor and 1920x1080 laptop screen - as the laptop screen is offset (downwards on the Y-axis by 506 pixels).

I checked and Arch Linux saves a local copy of the html manual for the current Nvidia Driver: [url=file://usr/share/doc/nvidia/html/index.html]/usr/share/doc/nvidia/html/index.html[/url].
So you can just bookmark that link... 8)

It occured to me yesterday, after playing Doom 2016 and Wine messed my X resolution settings...
The other obvious advantage of setting up explicit Metamodes, with the Nvidia proprietary drivers, is I just had to type:

Code: Select all

xrandr -s 0
to correctly restore the correct default resolutions for 2 monitor, TwinView desktop (as noted in the 70-screen.conf file comments)! Very handy!! 8)

If you get stuck I'm sure there are plenty of "Nvidia experts" on the Arch Linux forums... 8)
