Hello, all.
I’m having some trouble setting my primary monitor… sort of. Basically, I want to set my “real” primary monitor as the main one. The reason why I want to change it is because I get the dialogs etc. on the other monitor and it’s driving me nuts. The setup used to be fine but I took apart my PC to do some maintenance, after which, everything’s #/(&"=%! up
I’ve tried deleting .config/monitors.xml
and .config/monitors.xml~
, rebooting and logging back in, but that didn’t help. I also tried manually modifying .config/monitors.xml
by adding <primary>no</primary>
, but that didn’t help, either.
Here’s the XML:
<monitors version="2">
<configuration>
<logicalmonitor>
<x>346</x>
<y>0</y>
<scale>1</scale>
<primary>no</primary>
<monitor>
<monitorspec>
<connector>DP-2</connector>
<vendor>PHL</vendor>
<product>PHL 242G5</product>
<serial>0x00000b7e</serial>
</monitorspec>
<mode>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<rate>144.00076293945312</rate>
</mode>
</monitor>
</logicalmonitor>
<logicalmonitor>
<x>0</x>
<y>1080</y>
<scale>1</scale>
<primary>yes</primary>
<monitor>
<monitorspec>
<connector>DP-1</connector>
<vendor>AOC</vendor>
<product>AG273QS3R4</product>
<serial>0x000000ff</serial>
</monitorspec>
<mode>
<width>2560</width>
<height>1440</height>
<rate>143.91154479980469</rate>
</mode>
</monitor>
</logicalmonitor>
</configuration>
</monitors>
And here’s a screenshot of the settings (I want 1
to become 2
and vice-versa).
Thanks
