I can't get the two screen settings to change and stay correct on my new machine.
On my old machine (running Ubuntu 14.04) I have an nVidia GeForce 210. On my new machine (running Ubuntu MATE 16.04) I have an nVidia GeForce GT 610. Both have nVidia driver version 304.135. On the old machine I have a 1280x1024 Samsung SyncMaster 712N monitor, and a ViewSonic VG2030wm 1680x1050 monitor. On the new machine I have a 1280x1024 Samsung SyncMaster 712N monitor, and a 1920x1080 Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD monitor. On the old machine I have the 1280x1024 monitor to the left of the 1680x1050 monitor. I'd like to arrange the new machine to have a similar arrangement, but two things happen when I try to set that with the NVIDIA X Server Settings tool. I can drag the 1280x1024 monitor to the left and the 1920x1080 to the right. But when I click on the Apply button, I get part of the background image on the 1280x1024 monitor and the rest of it on the 1920x1080 monitor. The 1920x1080 monitor also has the image that should be on the 1280x1024 monitor to the right of the extra part of the image from the other monitor, and there's a blank strip at the bottom of that monitor under the smaller image. While I could live with the larger monitor being to the left of the smaller one, I'd like to have the menu bar at the top moved from the smaller monitor over to the larger one, and also the bar at the bottom of the screen with the buttons for the various open programs. I haven't found anything current with Mr. Google. The latest posting I found was from 2013. Any ideas on where to get current information about how to make this work right? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
