Gentoo Linux - kernel 3.6.8 - xf86-video-intel 2.20.15 - xorg-server: 1.13.0-r1 grub.conf kernel /boot/gentoo_3.6.8 root=/dev/sda3 video=1024x768-24 at 75 quiet splash .xinitrc xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1600x1200 --rate 60 --output HDMI3 --mode 1600x1200 --rate 60 --right-of HDMI1 Booting the system: Generally the displays are fine, however, sometimes (and it appears to be completely random) the left monitor will receive a video signal that is out of range. Briefly, the monitor will display a scrambled image followed by the monitor's on-screen display reporting the signal is out of range and then putting the monitor to sleep. Starting X via startx: When X starts, the same scenario as described above occurs. If I shutdown the x server and return to the console, the monitor that isn't displaying anything will come back on and be fine. Then if I start X again, it usually displays everything correctly. Both monitors (Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP) were purchased at the same time and are identical. Also, I have tried various configurations with xrandr and the kernel line in grub.conf. For example, I tried removing all kernel parameters as well as reducing xrandr the minimum options (removing mode and rate) without success. -- Freddie F.
