I've got an issue where the layout and mode of my displays resets to the default at every login. This is despite me setting up the monitors in the TDE Control Center, both locally as my user and globally as root, creating an X config using the NVIDIA X Server Settings, and having no such issue previously when I was still using KDE Plasma. I'm using the latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers on EndeavourOS, with a 1920x1080@60hz display on DP-1 and a 3440x1440@144hz display on DP-2. The ultrawide 1440p display is on the right slightly above the smaller one, but Trinity and TDM both repeatedly place them in the opposite arrangement with the smaller monitor as the default, sitting on the top right corner of the larger one. Both displays default to 60hz at login. I've also tried enabling "Automatically apply profile on startup" and creating a profile, but when trying to reload it, X spits out an error "xrandr: cannot find mode 3440x1440". I don't get any such error when logging on, only when trying to load it manually from control center, which makes me think it's not even trying. I have not tested using xrandr manually from the command line. How do I get Trinity to remember my monitor layout correctly? Is this a known issue?

Hi Bonkmaykr, IIRC the key to getting three monitors working happily with TDE and NVidia was using T Menu / Settings / NVidia Xserver Settings / X Server Display Configuration, setting things as desired, and then Save to X Configuration File (and rebooting). This writes some complicated and in some places NVidia-specific config to your xorg.conf. I suggest backing up your old xorg.conf first. As it happens my T Menu / Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Display / / Multiple Monitors and my T Menu / System / Screen Size and Rotate / (maybe click on it in the panel if it went there) / Configure Displays / Resolution and Layout/ (... Administrator Mode) also know the layout. I think they learned it from xorg.conf but it is possible I told them myself at some point. --Mike \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ tde-users mailing list -- users(a)trinitydesktop.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)trinitydesktop.org Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt…
