Dual display
-
The Raspi can’t manage two displays!
2 display’s = 2 raspi’s!

@lolobyte said in Dual display:

Do you really mean the Raspi, or do you mean MagicMirror?
There is a VGA Modul for the Rasp, to handle two displays.It’s just interesting if MM knows hof to show it correct on restart.

Hi jeff,
the raspi has only a hdmi output and a output 4 a gpio display.
It is not possible to really work with 2 display’s.
U have a link to your VGA Module?
If this module is really capable to run those 2 displays than u maybe can run a MM as web server build and one as MM2.
If it’s possible to run two different MM2 instances i don’t really know that.
Maybe it’s possible to run a second MM2 at another port!

Hey everybody, finally i managed to solder the GERT VGA-adapter!
I hope to find the time to test if it works this week. i will share my experiences here :-)
-
Looking forward seeing your experiences ;)

So the VGA adapter works (despite ugly soldering) but i did not manage to use VGA and HDMI simultaneously. After some further research on the topic i think it is necessary to use a custom kernel.
On ubuntu i know you can configure dual display using xrandr, but i have no idea how to do something like that with raspbian.
Please see this very interesting question at stackexchange: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/27048/55885.
I will try to dig a little deeper but to be honest i’m not deep enough into linux and development to fully understand this issue.
If you have any advice or interesting links on how to get dual display to work, please share! -
i have something for you.
I try this but it doesn’t work how i wish.Maybe u can use some ideas from this video.

You can run Dual monitor on Rpi.
If you search Youtube, first result ( link ) will show you, how to do that via external VGA Adapter to USB port. (see ytb video description ~50USD).
You can get cheaper solutions on ebay (~7USD) but there you need to somehow get right product, that is supported by Rpi, even if product description says only Win 7/8/10. You can see this raspberrypi.org thread for more details.
