| xu-irc24w | Good evening, folks. Having some trouble understanding where multiple monitor layout configurations are stored. Seems like there's a million different answers to this question. | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| xu-irc24w | In xfce, the display-settings application can be used to correct the monitor layout, but in i3wm, I'm not seeing where this config is located? Using Nvidia-settings wants to save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but that file doesn't exist. Is there a correct answer for where monitor resolution and layout information is supposed to be stored? | 01:01 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc24w: Have a look here: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf . | 01:05 |
| xu-irc24w | Thanks for your help. I see a 10-nvidia.conf file but it doesn't contain a display configuration. | 01:09 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc24w: Sorry - not able to be much more help - no experience with multi-monitors :( | 01:19 |
| xu-irc24w | Actually, I think you're on to something. | 01:20 |
| xu-irc24w | Checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that directory is being checked, but the config is incomplete. I may need to drop the nvidia config in there manually. | 01:21 |
| Bashing-om | xu-irc24w: \o/ ^ worth a shot - back up what you have before editing - makes a revert so much easier :D | 01:22 |
| xu-irc24w | Follow up on my last question about setting up display layouts. | 03:41 |
| xu-irc24w | The correct answer is the run the xrandr command in the i3 config file using exec. | 03:41 |
| xu-irc24w | *is to ru | 03:42 |
| xu-irc24w | xinitrc, xorg.conf, etc. are not being used in Ubuntu distros these days. | 03:42 |
| xu-irc24w | Even lightdm.conf is gone. So it has to be done somewhere else. | 03:42 |
