Hi all, I switched to XFCE recently. Its becoming my favorite DE. But besides the point. One drawback that I have noticed with Trisquel is that I require su permissions to mount internal HDDs. In MATE it will prompt me to enter a password, However XFCE doesn't seem to do this when I

When going to Displays it only detects both monitors as one "Unknown" display. Pressing "Detect monitors" does nothing. I'm using Trisquel 8. Once it black-screened I simply backed up my /home dir to my backup drive and reinstalled. So it's "solved" in the sense that I am currently using
