Hi,
Testing with Debian R5,
I tried to enable a dual screen conf (HDMI+LCD) in script.bin, but without any success. This is what I setup in this file:
First trial:
[disp_init]
disp_init_enable = 1
disp_mode = 2
screen0_output_type = 1
screen0_output_mode = 4
screen1_output_type = 3
screen1_output_mode = 4
Second trial:
[disp_init]
disp_init_enable = 1
disp_mode = 4
screen0_output_type = 1
screen0_output_mode = 4
screen1_output_type = 3
screen1_output_mode = 4
Third trial:
[disp_init]
disp_init_enable = 1
disp_mode = 4
screen0_output_type = 3
screen0_output_mode = 4
screen1_output_type = 1
screen1_output_mode = 4
Last trial:
disp_init_enable = 1
disp_mode = 2
screen0_output_type = 3
screen0_output_mode = 4
screen1_output_type = 1
screen1_output_mode = 4
I used this wiki for the setup: http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide#disp_init_configuration
conclusion: None of them is working. I only got one display at a time (LCD or HDMI but not both).
Is there any hardware limitation which prevent to use two screens at a time?

Today ssvb posted howto for dual monitor support in linux-sunxi wiki: http://linux-sunxi.org/DualMonitorSupport (http://linux-sunxi.org/DualMonitorSupport). It is for HDMI+VGA but I hope it helps you somehow.
Hi,
I tried the dual monitor wiki from sunxi:

and got still the same problem. No dual screen, only LCD or HDMI, depending the conf I am writing into script.bin.
With the LCD working, this is what I got from dmesg regarding HDMI:

Nevertheless, it seems that there is no hardware limitations, as it works quite well under Android 4.2 :(

It seems that what I was missing, was to have Xorg with two displays, and start xfce4 on BOTH displays.

Hi,
Tried the previous post to launch both LCD and HDMI. But it fails!
(startxfce4 -- :0 -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf -novtswitch &>/dev/null) &
In the line above, the "-config" option does not exist for startxfce4. It seems that we need to move the config into a xinitrc file instead....

Hi,
I double check xorg log file for both screen, and there is absolutely no error at all. The X servers are up and running as the ps shows:

but NO OUTPUT on the HDMI screen!!
Do I need to load or activate any modules when compiling the kernel??
Any ideas are welcome...
