Linux Deepin Dual Monitor Doesnt Work


Hi, firstly im newbie, hello everyone. My motherlanguage is not English so im sorry about it.

I'm using deepin for 2 or 3 months. I bought a new monitor and i want to use both of them. I have 2 graphic cards. One of them is amd radeon r7 and the second one is in motherboard intel xeon e3-1200. So it means i have 2 ports to connect monitors. I was using dual monitors in windows with iGpu Multimonitor settings in bios, and it was working well. But in deepin, i cant use it. I did everything same as windows but it doesnt make it double.

After selecting deepin os, i see "DEEPIN" logo both of my monitors and after 5-10 second one of them(igpu, motherboard intel) is going sleeping mode and i can only use other one.

How can i use dual monitor in deepin os. Sorry for my English again. Thank you

In Linux world there are configuration files, and there are GUI applications which can make editing them easy. In your case there seems to be no GUI utility is able to set it up the way you want. So you need to resort editing configuration files by hand. You need good internet search skills to find a case like yours, here's the start:

Indeed, there is another way, reading up on Xorg documentation and writing the configuration from scratch.
