I'm using the thinclient version of Porteus kiosk. Everything works fine except that when i connect a second monitor the image is duplicated.
I would like to change this to extend displays. How can i make that happen?
Thanks

See here:

I have added fancy colors and better description so should be easier to understand the syntax of this parameter.
Thanks

Yes - you have to provide screen resolution and refresh rate (in next release i may add support for 'normal' attribute for them if you want to use max available value).
If your care only about extended mode and dont want to configure any other screen parameter then you may use 'xrandr' with 'run_command=':

Code: Select all
run_command=xrandr --output HDMI-2 --right-of HDMI1

"(in next release i may add support for 'normal' attribute for them if you want to use max available value)."
Have to drop this idea as scaling function (2 monitors set for mirroring and have different resolution) requires resolution to be provided.
