Several excellent choices for arandr scripts 👍 (a) one time in .xscreenlayout (5:28) (b) at boot in .xinitrc (6:45) (c) cron tab (7:51) (d) display manager config file (9:28) Thank you and kindest regards. P.s. what about /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/[[mymonitors]].conf ??

[@RickRomig]

Thanks. That was very helpful. I run dual monitors (idenical modlels) and occassionally the secondary monitor comes with with a different resolution. It can be a pain to change it back using the GUI display properties as sometimes the correct resollution isn't listed. This should help.

-Chris. I appreciate this video and of course thumbs upped it. But, this is a small reminder of why I don't miss mint 19 cinnamon and older versions....having to make and run xrandr script to ensure my display runs at 144hz instead of this crappy 60hz OOTB. 20 cinnamon, just like xfcr and mate have had a GUI settings for Hz adjustment for a few versions now thankfully. I'll keep this video in mind just in case though. Cheers

I might get a multi-monitor setup with a Freesync or Gsync monitor in the future. However, Xorg does not support Variable Refresh Rate in multi-monitor setups at the moment. I might have to switch from Qtile to Sway to get my setup working in the future.

I wanted to try Linux out (I use Win11) and I have 1 problem when I try out the DEMO MODES with ubnutu 22.04, pop! os, linux 21 mint, zorin os. I use an ASUS TUF A15 Gaming Laptop, have 2 external monitors (hdmi to a 4k@ 60hz ASUS monitor *works) and USB C to Displayport (WQHD@165Hz ASUS monitor). With Windows 11 it works fine, but with Linux when I try out the DEMO... It looks like Linux detects my gpu and monitors... I try to select this 3rd monitor... try APPLY KEEP CHANGES... but it turns off on slide button and no display. Do I need MONITOR DRIVERS? DO I need to do a ful install? Just won't work in DEMO MODE? I don't know I am quite disappointed and thought things would work. Windows 11 works perfect with my setup..... IF anyone could help greatly appreciated....

Hi. I have a problem with linuxlite display. I have a pc with 2 displayports. Both are connected, but only one it shows. Xrandr gets me DiplayPort-0 connected and DisplayPort-1 disconnected but it is connected. If I unplug displayport-0, displayport-1 goes connected. It behaves strange

xrandr command does not show the hdmi How to fix this ?

[@lauriekimani]

I actually like wayland .

[@eduardoADSL]

I recently installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, at first the system worked fine with the generic monitor driver and the resolution was at 1920x1080. Since I installed nvidia drivers I can only pick 1600x900 maximum, on Wayland the limit is even lower. I tried to force custom resolutions to no avail (cvt, xrandr --addmode, etc). My machine was previously a Windows 10 computer, all of sudden it had the same issue and I managed to force the correct resolution through nvidia control panel, but I don´t have the same options on Linux. There are any other way to try to fix this? Thank you.

I just swapped my HDMI75hz monitor to a DisplayPort 165Hz but my system is detecting 2 monitors, is there a way to disable one of them?

[@gregbenwell6173]

Just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and when I went to restart my computer I get to the password screen, enter my password, and THEN when I click enter, the screen suddenly locks with a bunch of horizontal lines across it!! My monitor is connected through a VGA port on an very old Emachines EL-1352G slim computer!! The stock display on the motherboard is a Nvidia set up which is part of the AMD motherboard!!

AM new in linux are there negative effect when you logout in a distro when upgrades are running both in arched and ubuntu based distro?.

[@FraterSorax]

No its actually called a soft reboot compare to windows 😉used the log in command a few days ago on fedora workstation that machine was slow becuase it waa running for three years straight zero reboot one log off and it was fresh like a new installation 😊

[@julianmccallum8812]

i have never been this angry in my life, i bought a video card hoping to use 3 screens, but with proper drivers, and aven after ripping the card out and just trying integrated graphics ubuntu wont detect any other monitor. i had all three screens mirror each other but no matter what i do the "displays" setting will only show 1 unknown monitor edit: i have been on the internet for an entire weekend and there isnt a single video or forum that explain how to fix this issue. im ready to kill somebody

[@fahdalmarri3862]

have u find solution

[@don_huzan]

Any solution?

[@louman4322]

Make sure you have a good driver installed and also maybe using prime-select in terminal and selecting your prime hardware driver might help? I use nvidia. You'll need to reboot after that and becareful.

[@allensmith9312]

X11??? Yeah, we all know what that is..

[@reverenddick8562]

Could I disable dual monitors, reinstall, then set up dual monitors?
