Sounds like fun. Wish I could take the time to do that.

Is it possible to use this ubuntu-image for a double monitor system like the following:

Thank you.

OK, can you post exactly how you did?

I am confident this must be possible within my build too.

After downloading und installing your ubuntu image I have on both monitors (HDMI and VGA) the same picture.
I converted your orangepi.bin to orangepi.fex and changed the values in disp_init as I did with the bananian image and converted back to orangepi.bin:

[disp_init]
disp_init_enable = 1
disp_mode = 2
screen0_output_type = 4
screen0_output_mode = 10

screen1_output_type = 3
screen1_output_mode = 10

Then I took my old xorg.conf
with the following script:

Section "Device"
         Identifier    "fbturbo"
         Driver       "fbturbo"
         Option       "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"

         Option       "SwapbuffersWait" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier    "FBDEV 0"
         Driver       "fbturbo"
         Option       "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier    "FBDEV 1"
         Driver       "fbturbo"
         Option       "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier    "_VGA_"
         Device       "FBDEV 0"
         Monitor       "VGA"
         DefaultDepth 24
         SubSection "Display"
                  Depth          24
                  Modes          "1920x1080"
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier    "_HDMI_"
         Device       "FBDEV 1"
         Monitor       "HDMI"
         DefaultDepth 24
         SubSection "Display"
                  Depth          24
                  Modes          "1920x1080"
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier    "VGA"
         Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00"
         Option       "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier    "HDMI"
         Option "PreferredMode" "11920x1080_60.00"
         Option "RightOf" "VGA"
         Option       "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier    "Xinerama"
         Screen       0 "_VGA_"
         Screen       1 "_HDMI_" Leftof "_VGA_"
         Option             "Xinerama" "on"
         Option       "Clone" "off"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
         Option "RANDR" "Enable"
EndSection

BUT:
When I want to startx:
There appear a message that in the script something is wrong and the board is not going into xfce.

When I figured out my configuration half a year ago, it was neccessary that in

uEnv.txt
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=64 disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x1024 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait
aload_script=fatload mmc 0 0x43000000 script.bin;
aload_kernel=fatload mmc 0 0x48000000 uImage; bootm 0x48000000;
uenvcmd=run aload_script aload_kernel

the red coloured text has to be added.

I do not find uEnv.txt this in your rom. but I am not sure if this is nessessary.

For me the main problem is in xorg.conf because when I change something he is producing the error message.

It would be great if you can try my scripts and see what the machine is doing.

thank you

Check /boot/boot.cmd and alter kernel parameters. It's the same way.

I have only one monitor on my desk so can't do true test.

I'll check up what error do I get ... asap.

Can anyone help me.

The ubuntu version was a little to slow for me and I had the troubles with the Language (could not change it)

Now I tried the debian jessy with the old kernel and here I have the problem that the hdmi screen has bad picture.
Half a yea ago I corrected this with

sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=64

in uEnv.txt

With ubuntu it worked when I put this line into boot.cmd. With the debian it do not work.

Have you any idea?

The next is that I am not able to go into AP mode with WLAN. I think i am to stupid to handle your Manuals beause I have not entough experience with linux.

Please help me.

Thank you
