Hi Ran, It's been some years since I setup my multi-monitor configuration. I'm now using R14.1.0. IIRC I used T-Menu / Trinity Control Center / System Administration / / Monitor and Display / Resolution and Layout. At some point in the process it asks for root password. It seems to preserve my layout over reboots and upgrades. FWIW I also have T-Menu / System / Screen Resize & Rotate running in my panel which automatically returns after every reboot. There's at least one other mechanism which I don't personally use which is T-Menu / Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Display / Multiple Monitors. Hopefully one or more of these will work for you. --Mike ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
