If you have a multi-monitor setup, edit your copy of config.ini
with the correct values for your particular setup. Like this:
# Multi Monitor Configuration
enable_multi_monitor = true
enable_xrandr = true
current_monitor_setup = [monitor_3]
The default example is configured for a specific setup with 3 monitors, with the tablet being the rightmost, like this:
[Left:2560x1440] - [Middle:1920x1080] - [Right:1920x1080](TABLET)
Take a look to the 3 of the config.ini
file, where diffeente multi-monitor configurations are defined:
# 3 MONITOR SETUPS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[monitor_1+1]
# 2 full HD monitors sharing the same view
screen_1W = 1920
screen_1H = 1080
screen_2W = 1920
screen_2H = 1080
# global geometry
total_screen_width = ${screen_1W}
total_screen_height = ${screen_1H}
tablet_offset_x = 0
tablet_offset_y = 0
xrandr_output1 = --output DVI-D-0 --mode ${screen_1W}x${screen_1H} --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_output2 = --output VGA-0 --mode ${screen_2W}x${screen_2H} --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_args = ${xrandr_output1} ${xrandr_output2}
[monitor_3]
# 3 monitors arranged horizontally
# screens widths and heights
screen_1W = 2560
screen_1H = 1440
screen_2W = 1920
screen_2H = 1080
screen_3W = 1920
screen_3H = 1080
# global geometry
total_screen_width = ${screen_1W} + ${screen_2W} + ${screen_3W}
total_screen_height = ${screen_1H}
tablet_offset_x = ${screen_1W} + ${screen_2W}
tablet_offset_y = 0
xrandr_output1 = --output HDMI-0 --mode ${screen_1W}x${screen_1H} --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_output2 = --output DVI-D-0 --mode ${screen_2W}x${screen_2H} --pos ${screen_1W}x0 --rotate normal

xrandr_args = ${xrandr_output1} ${xrandr_output2} ${xrandr_output3}
[monitor_2+1]
# 3 monitors. But 2 and 3 share the same view
screen_1W = 2560
screen_1H = 1440
screen_2W = 1920
screen_2H = 1080
screen_3W = 1920
screen_3H = 1080
total_screen_width = ${screen_1W} + ${screen_2W}
total_screen_height = ${screen_1H}
tablet_offset_x = ${screen_1W}
tablet_offset_y = 0
xrandr_output1 = --output HDMI-0 --mode ${screen_1W}x${screen_1H} --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_output2 = --output DVI-D-0 --mode ${screen_2W}x${screen_2H} --pos ${screen_1W}x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_output3 = --output VGA-0 --mode ${screen_3W}x${screen_3H} --pos ${screen_1W}x0 --rotate normal
xrandr_args = ${xrandr_output1} ${xrandr_output2} ${xrandr_output3}
You can use xrandr
or arandr
to retrieve the information about your monitors, including their respective connections and resolutions.
