Dual Monitors Android-x86

[riggs6012]

Hello today I am here to tell you that you can have dual monitors for Android-x86. It works like this the primary monitor has a resolution that exact resolution will be passed down to the secondary monitor. This is the prime system a 4k touchscreen monitor as a primary then a 86" 4k monitor as a secondary. The grub configuration file is how you do it but first you need to go to /sys/class/drm and look at your available video cards. Then you need to figure out what monitor is HDMI-A-1 and HDMI-A-2. So the kernel command line needs to disable a card for the surface pro 3 it would be eDP-1 or desktop DVI-A-1. So the kernel command line would go like this after remix x86_64 for surface pro 3
video=eDP-1:d video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160-32@60 append="video=HDMI-A-2:3840x2160-32@60"

Just remember to append your second monitor this should work for any Android-x86 system.

working with the displays

Hey, i was curious on the formatting of this as you didn't include your xrandar output, mine is

eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+1920+0 
HDMI-1 connected 1920x1080+3840+0

so im not sure how to modify the output to make grub and mesa happy
