@usman_tahir880 Sorry, I've never had this problem, just know that some people have this problem and the gnubit user's instructions on the link I sent to you are very helpful.
But, I saw that you're running the terminal through your cell phone, have you stopped the Emulationstation before?
Since you are in a laptop, why not run the terminal directly from the laptop?

@Zing same issue through direct access
So what you suggest should i check other laptop.

@usman_tahir880 Try this:

As @Zing has mentioned you will need to kill emulation station first, here is another thread which might help:

I just accidentally press forward slash key.

I had also tried after kill emulation by pressing F4.

@usman_tahir880

did you stop ES from root terminal from your laptop ?

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop

then xrandr to list your displays

[usman_tahir880]

@gnubit tried but same

[usman_tahir880]

I think it can be display driver issue because i had read some logs mentioned this.

HDMI1 mode not available.

[Zing]

@usman_tahir880 try the command:
DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr

[usman_tahir880]

@Zing same error can't open display

I may be wrong, but from what I understand the problem is with "xorg.conf" (or its absence).
If so, these links will help:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf
https://askubuntu.com/questions/217758/how-to-make-an-xorg-conf-file

Read the information for all the links, and test the suggestions (make a backup of your image before, by security).
I do not have this problem, and I'm not a programmer, so I do not know the exact answer to your problem. So it is best that you test the options we are showing you, and give us feedback (positive or negative).

[usman_tahir880]

I have checked on other laptop same error coming.
Cant open display
Please helppp.

@usman_tahir880 Did you read the links I posted ?? Have you tried the commands that the links suggest ??

[usman_tahir880]

@Zing Yes i have read but no luck

[Zing]

@usman_tahir880 Say everything you tried and what the result of each command, otherwise it is impossible to help you without knowing what happens. For example: What is the result of the "Xorg: 1 -configure" command? Have you tried this command already?

[usman_tahir880]

@Zing i run this command.
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --listmonitors
Here is the output.
Monitors: 2
0: +eDP1 1366/310x768/170+0+0 eDP1
1: +HDMI1 1920/1600x1080/900+0+0 HDMI1

[usman_tahir880]

I edit this file .xinitrc and enter this line
xrandr --output eDP1 --off
Now ES MENU IS ON FULL SCREEN BUT GAME IS NOT WORKING.

@gnubit Any idea?
