Dual GPU (Intel Nvidia) and no mouse on laptop after connection

[Akantor47]

Hello this is not really an Issue I got it working, but` I wanted to share my Installation procedure because I got some "bugs" at the first try.

I love the VirtScreen program. It Still was a bit tricky to install on Ubuntu 18.10. Just want to make clear what to do.

My Laptop specs: Intel I5 with Intel HD Graphic and Nvidia M150 Graphic card on Ubuntu 18.10 with Gnome Arandr installed

First problem no VirtualScreen1: Tried with HDMI1-1 but it only duplicated my already used Monitor.

So created the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-virtscreen.conf file. Related: #16 (Terminal and sudo)

# Then configure intel internal GPU
Section "Device"
        Identifier "intelgpu0"
        Driver     "intel"
EndSection

And installed the latest x11vnc. Related: #19

Reinstall x11vnc and get it from Github
git clone https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc.git
cd x11vnc
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf
sudo apt-get install libvncserver-dev 
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install x11vnc

and now install the virtscreen package. cd /whereEver/You/Downloaded/It/ sudo dpkg -i virtscreen.deb

and afterwards run it with in Terminal

virtscreen

Thats it. I can even drag and drop my Windows to the Virtscreen.

Great tool. Thank you for making this tool.

Hi @Akantor47 , Thank you very much for your report, and this is the correct way to do it as far as I know :) I edited your post a little bit to make it more useful to others. In the next release I will provide a summary in the app, including these kinds of issue.

Thanks,

Hello @kbumsik,

as far as I tryed it now I am getting some errors with other programms. For Example Blender, it is telling me that

/build/blender-gUWu1g/blender-2.79.b+dfsg0/intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:198: X11 glXQueryVersion() failed, verify working openGL system!
initial window could not find the GLX extension

I will try to Install virtscreen again later when blender is up and running again. Hopefully without the issus on some programms.

EDIT 1: After removing Virtscreen and all nvidia drivers with

sudo apt-get purge virtscreen nvidia*

and reconfiguring of my X11 XServer with

sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Blender is now up and running again. Installation of Virtscreen went without any errors

Virtscreen is working out of the box even without a 30-virtscreen.conf file or any other configuration.

It didn't removed my settings as I expected. It kept my portrait mode after reinstalling. And Blender is still working like a charm. Also Virtscreen is working perfectly now.

EDIT: 2 I would love to use the full display of my tablet wich is 1920x1200 but it's not possible to set Virtscreen to it, only to 1920x1200.
