I am using jessie. Here is my experiment plan: Goal: Now that grub update ~works, see how to get xrandr to work. Method: Save /etc/default/grub as the latest rev. Reinstantiate the latest version. Save /etc/grub.d/00_header as the latest rev. Reinstantiate the latest version. Run update-grub2

xfce4 reports the display to be eDP1. There is now a ~/.screenlayout with a file cDP1_1960x1080.sh with the one line xrandr --output HDMI1 --off cdP1 --mode 1960x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal This line was generated by the arandr. On rebooting, it comes up in 3840x2160. Openning up arandr, it

Re: LXDE Display Coordination

Thank you all for the info. That is challenging to understand. But I see xrandr being used and Xfce (which looks like is needed to get xrandr). So I: apt-get install Xfce4 with no errors. I did not include any of the added packages. I ran xrandr and selected a different configuration
