Re: Setting Primary Monitor with F14 - dual monitors [Found Temporary Fix]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FYI:

I'm running KDE, and I've managed to fix this via an autostart file. It 
waits for me to be logged in then it swaps the screens, kinda goofy but 
it works.

I placed a file called xrandr in the .kde/Autostart directory under my 
home directory.  Then I added the content below and made the file 
executable:

-----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary

------------------------------------------------------

I'd like a more elegant/permanent solution so I dont have to "swap" the 
screens after login , however it does work for now...
