Public bug reported:
Older HP laptop
using displayport to HDMI cable to use a larger secondary monitor
I need to go to ->preferences-> Monitor Settings
in order to get the 2 displays to sync
I see DP-1 and eDP-1
DP-1 (the laptop) will display fine
eDP-1 the extended monitor's config
The position does not start in the default, thus I have to change this
to default in order for things to look similar. (I would expect the
baseline config for "Position" on eDP-1 to be "default" and the rest of
the parameters to be "auto"
Apply
Things now appear and behave as expected
Save
(The configuration change that I have made does not appear to save via the
"monitor settings" tool. I have not explored finding the appropriate config
file and manually making the needed changes. What happens is that I need to
repeat going into monitor settings each and every time after I have to reboot
the machine for a patch; for my secondary display to work as desired.)
