Migrate xorg.conf.d (X Server Configurations) from one build to another
by jackthemoo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JMBW)
Hardware is a stock HP T5740 for both builds
Build 1 is running Ubuntu Server 16.04.6 (i386)
Build 2 is running Porteus Kiosk 3.7.0 (i586)
The main issue is on any default build, running xrandr shows only one display connected. The hardware has a VGA and DP output.
With Build 1 I was finally able to get the second monitor working as an extended display. It happens to show it as HDMI1 instead of DP1 but that is not an issue.
With Build 2, this build is very locked down and {I am not sure how I would go about updating anything. I was able to successfully adjust files within the .iso and have a "custom" installation, but these were minimal changes. Would it be possible to migrate all of the X server configurations and drivers used on Build 1 over to Build 2?
Build 2 is the perfect solution for me. I have ~30 HP T5740's that run windows XP which no longer receivers Citrix client updates. I just need Build 2 to use the second monitor as an extended display, just as Build 1 does.
