[01:00] <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.
[01:01] <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?
[01:05] <Bashing-om> xu-irc24w: Have a look here: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf .
[01:09] <xu-irc24w> Thanks for your help. I see a 10-nvidia.conf file but it doesn't contain a display configuration.
[01:19] <Bashing-om> xu-irc24w: Sorry - not able to be much more help - no experience with multi-monitors :(
[01:20] <xu-irc24w> Actually, I think you're on to something.
[01:21] <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.
[01:22] <Bashing-om> xu-irc24w: \o/ ^ worth a shot - back up what you have before editing - makes a revert so much easier :D
[03:41] <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.
[03:42] <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.
