Template:Testcase video multihead

Description

This test case tests whether multiple displays work successfully with the (DRIVER) driver. You will need at least two displays connected to your (DRIVER) video adapter to perform this test.

Setup

1. Connect as many displays as you can to the available ports on your display adapter
2. Ensure the nomodeset and (MODULE).modeset=0 kernel parameters are not set in your bootloader configuration
   • You can see your current kernel options by running cat /proc/cmdline
3. Ensure the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, or is a valid file that uses the (DRIVER) driver
4. Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again
5. If using a live image to test, ignore the above steps and simply boot the system from the live image with default options

How to test

1. Verify that the graphical environment starts correctly and is spanned across all connected displays
2. Open a console and run the command xrandr. Take a copy of the results
3. Run the GNOME display configuration tool, gnome-display-properties. Verify that it correctly shows each of the connected displays (monitors). Test re-arranging, enabling, disabling and configuring displays

Expected Results

1. xrandr should report each connected display and the correct available modes on each
2. gnome-display-properties should allow you to arrange the displays in any configuration, enable and disable displays, and change each display's settings; these changes should work and be reflected in what each display actually shows
