I needed to change from Arch to Debian on my main desktop for reasons that are unimportant. I have two monitors 1 26" LCD TV @ 1920*1080 and 1 Xerox 19" @ 1440*900
I am having issues with having the resolutions of monitor position persist after reboot. I am using Xfce with lightdm. I have tried making the changes with
amdcccle (as su) and after a reboot the changes dont remain.
xrandr using
arandr, changes don't persist.
I have created a .xinit file in ~/ and in the file entered the command below but again the the .xinit file appears to be ignored.
Code:
xrandr --output CRT2 --mode 1440x900 --pos 1920x180 --rotate normal --output CRT1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DFP2 --off --output DFP1 --off
I have added the following lines to lightdm.conf (layout1.sh is the layout saved from arandr which contains the same command as above)
Code:
display-setup-script=/home/dante/.screenlayout/layout1.sh
session-setup-script=/home/dante/.screenlayout/layout1.sh
the lightdm.conf changes fixed the resolution and placement during login (lightdm) but once xfce loads it goes back to the default which is of no use to me.
