#163276 — Setting up LVDS display in Jessie stable

I am just trying to setup my debian 8.2 stable in my Intel(R) Atom(TM)
CPU N2600   @ 1.60GHz. The installation goes smooth without any
issues.
For this system , we are planning to use DUAL display with HDMI & LVDS.
we  see that that only HDMI is working and LVDS screen is blank.
However, we notice that XRANDR is is showing LVDS as connected

use semothing like this

xrandr --output LVDS --right-of HDMI --auto

BTW you guys are amazing. Pasted all that stuff but did you also find time
to read the man pages? Or at least execute xrandr --help

Yes i did try setting "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --right-of DVI-0 --auto "

Execution did not throw any error. But still the display is blank.

Yes, i did try the option that you have mentioned :  "xrandr --output 
LVDS-0 --right-of DVI-0 --auto " . There was no exception or error 
during execution and LVDS SCREEN was blank.

Again tried the same experiment with VGA and LVDS connected. During this 
trial "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --right-of VGA-0 --auto" LVDS worked as 
expected.
Confused.

did you try arandr?
arandr is a graphical setup for screen

Yes, I have LVDS-0 as active with ARANDR and still LVDS is displaying 
blank screen

in the out of xrandr there is no HDMI output listed
I assume this is "DisplayPort-1 connected" - just try 

xrandr --output LVDS-0 --auto

Try switching the HDMI (DisplayPort-1) resolution to 1024x768 and repeat. It
could be that you LVDS refuses to handle higher. If so try 
--scale-from 1920x1080 like this

xrandr --output LVDS-0 --scale-from 1920x1080

or 
xrandr --output DisplayPort-1 --scale-from 1024x768

What I think in worst case could be that there is some hardware limit (has
been seen in many intel chips)

I hope it helps

Initially when i tried this it throwed crtc error..
After switching off the  Displayport (xrandr --output DisplayPort-1 
--off) I was able to set LVDS-0 to AUTO
But, still no luck over LVDS display still blank.

try with 1024x768 on both displays with the mode option or via arandr

I think this will work for both. Then you can probably work around with
the --scale-from on the DVI

It is however strange you get the HDMI as DVI - could be driver specific to
this intel chip.

You can try the latest driver from xorg and you can ask in the xorg/intel
list

I Still my LVDS display is blank when HDMI is connected.  Issue seems to 
be clueless. Need some guidance.

Guys
yes i had hard time figuring this issue.
Adding "video=DP-2:d" fixed this issue. Now i am able to control both 
the  displays (HDMI and LVDS)

Here comes my next problem:
I  have two LVDS monitor for testing.

Model 1 :  400Nits
     When this LVDS display is connected i see clear output in the screen

Mode2 : 1000Nits
     Screen output is smudgy all time..

What could be the problem,,,,

resolution? or how do you connect them to the machine - cable or power
source?
I don't have experience with 2 LVDS - how do you connect them - curious? 

LVDS is

Low Voltage Differential Signalling output (typically a laptop LCD panel).
Available properties: 

BACKLIGHT - current backlight level (adjustable)
By adjusting the BACKLIGHT property, the brightness on the LVDS output can
be adjusted. In some cases, this property may be unavailable (for example
if your platform uses an external microcontroller to control the
backlight).
scaling mode - control LCD panel scaling mode
When the currently selected display mode differs from the native panel
resolution, various scaling options are available. These include
Center
Simply center the image on-screen without scaling. This is the only scaling
mode that guarantees a one-to-one correspondence between native and
displayed pixels, but some portions of the panel may be unused
(so-called "letterboxing").
Full aspect
Scale the image as much as possible while preserving aspect ratio. Pixels
may not be displayed one-to-one (there may be some blurriness). Some
portions of the panel may be unused if the aspect ratio of the selected
mode does not match that of the panel.
Full
Scale the image to the panel size without regard to aspect ratio. This is
the only mode which guarantees that every pixel of the panel will be used.
But the displayed image may be distorted by stretching either horizontally
or vertically, and pixels may not be displayed one-to-one (there may be
some blurriness).
The precise names of these options may differ depending on the kernel video
driver, (but the functionality should be similar). See the output of
xrandr --prop for a list of currently available scaling modes.
