No idea. I just figure it ought to do what I told it and not try to outsmart me. I tried to setup autorandr to fix it automatically, but I can't remember if I got it working or not. > I'm pretty sure you still use X because I know you favour Nvidia GPUs and > that almost demands the proprietary driver.

And the machine has an nvidia card in it (used to be a GTX 275 in that machine until it decided to fuse itself to the PCIe slot of the motherboard, now it is a GTX 660 Ti that I had meant to build a game machine with years ago and never got around to it). -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
