Re: [arch-general] VirtualBox ALT-key problems (especially with Adobe programs)
Try some other window manager, that way you can find out if it's gnome's wm which is causing the problem. Personally i'm using fvwm, and everything in my windows vboxes is working fine. Haven't tried photoshop though...

Not sure if i can help, on my sys "xrandr --listproviders" gives intel after i login to X. The second screen shows up in xrandr after i do: optirun true /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output I'm using the NVidia binary drivers though.

Re: [arch-general] NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M]
Is this a dual graphics (Intel HD / nvidia) machine? If yes, it can be quite tricky to get all 3 displays working. If you are lucky then maybe everything works if you just select one of the cards in the bios, but that is not the case if its anything like my notebook where the digital output is physically connected to the Nvidia card, while the analog VGA is connected to the intel. The bumblebee article on the wiki might be what you will have to look into. However, it is slightly out of date in the tripple-head section: * patching the xf86-video-intel package with the virtual-crtc is no longer necessary, the needed functionality is now in the official package. * Instead of the screenclone tool, you can use /usr/bin/intel-virtual-output On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 11:26 AM, Mihamina Rakotomandimby wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a Dell Latitude E6430 shipped with this Nvidia device: > > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M] > (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) > Subsystem: Dell Device 1534 > Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 > Memory at f500 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] > Memory at e000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] > Memory at f000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] > I/O ports at e000 [size=128] > Expansion ROM at f600 [disabled] [size=512K] > Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 > Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ > Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 > Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 > Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel > Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting > Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 > Len=024 > Kernel driver in use: nouveau > > My Laptop has VGA and HDMI output, both are used inorder to get a triple > display system: on board screen + one on VGA, one on HDMI. > > Do you have special recommandation on which driver to install and any tip > relative to that hardware? > > Note: Currently using Fedora it works quite well, but I really want to give > a try to ARch and want to get my screens as soon as possible :-) > > Thanks for your help.

At that point, the user still outside the chroot. There is a separate section further down below in the guide which deals with making network config persistent while chrooted inside the newly installed system. -- Bruno
