Trying to get dual monitor display to work
Posted: Fri 01 Mar 2019, 19:47
I am using BionicDog64 Cinnamon Version (though I have tried Puppy versions as well) and I cannot get dual screen to function.
As mentioned above I purchased a XFX Radeon R7 240 (R7240ACLF2) 2GB GDDR5 SDRAM PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card under the impression I would be able to use it fairly easily on Linux. But the main function I am looking for, dual screen support, I have not been able to get.
I have installed the package amdgpu-install via the synaptic package manager included in BionicDog but am unsure what else to do.
Unfortunately, the current participants on the BionicDog thread don't seem to be able to provide the solution (I'm sure they would if they knew, they have been super helpful).
If anyone else can help me figure out if I have made a mistake in my purchase or what could be done to correct the situation Id appreciate it. Thanks so much for your help.
