Re: From Xfce to Mate
MATE in OpenBSD does have a display utility. Via the command line, it's called mate-display-properties. Launching from the MATE menu, it's in System --> Preferences --> Hardware --> Displays. You might have been missing some of the MATE packages.

From Xfce to Mate
Hello, In these days searching to fix security details on my station, eg. reducing the exposure to GUI programs, etc. I tried to port my dev environment from Xfce to Mate and here some of my thoughts: 1) Mate is much lighter, eg tcl/tk software go up like a twist; 2) by multi screens the porting is a true adventure cause Mate doesn't come with a "Display utility", all the screen configuration happens by xrandr; 3) the software that accompaign Mate is few or doesnt run, eg the power management utility doesnt function or I can't set my custom 5 Mode background (the background utility doesnt pop up); 4) the context menu by right clicking anywhere on the desktop has no application menu apparently.. this the latest problem.. I passed a full night with Mate (..) but for now I was happy to come back to my steps and restore Xfce, although performances seem very interesting. -Dan
