How does one determine if an adapter is a DL-165 ?
I have no idea what mine are, are generic unbranded, but I thought I'd plug one in again as multiple desktop monitors is on my list of things to try again. I'm guessing mine aren't as plugged into a Dell monitor which supports HDMI and VGA fbset shows -
Code: Select all
mode "1440x900-60"
# D: 106.508 MHz, H: 55.939 kHz, V: 59.892 Hz
geometry 1440 900 1440 900 16
It seems I already had libxinerama-dev installed, Raspbian Stretch Full non-NOOBS install, and your guide worked a treat whereas I'd failed before. So many thanks for that.
I initially had an inch wide band of black on the VGA's right. Might be worth suggesting doing an 'auto-adjust' on the monitor before jumping to the conclusion something has gone wrong.
Also a minor typo on your linked page; "now to create an /etc/X11/
cxorg.conf". There's an extraneous 'c' in there.
