How to Fix Display Issues in Linux

[RickRomig]

Thanks. That was very helpful. I run dual monitors (idenical modlels) and occassionally the secondary monitor comes with with a different resolution. It can be a pain to change it back using the GUI display properties as sometimes the correct resollution isn't listed. This should help.

I might get a multi-monitor setup with a Freesync or Gsync monitor in the future. However, Xorg does not support Variable Refresh Rate in multi-monitor setups at the moment. I might have to switch from Qtile to Sway to get my setup working in the future.

-Chris. I appreciate this video and of course thumbs upped it. But, this is a small reminder of why I don't miss mint 19 cinnamon and older versions....having to make and run xrandr script to ensure my display runs at 144hz instead of this crappy 60hz OOTB. 20 cinnamon, just like xfcr and mate have had a GUI settings for Hz adjustment for a few versions now thankfully. I'll keep this video in mind just in case though. Cheers

Hi. I have a problem with linuxlite display. I have a pc with 2 displayports. Both are connected, but only one it shows. Xrandr gets me DiplayPort-0 connected and DisplayPort-1 disconnected but it is connected. If I unplug displayport-0, displayport-1 goes connected. It behaves strange

Several excellent choices for arandr scripts 👍
(a) one time in .xscreenlayout (5:28)
(b) at boot in .xinitrc (6:45)
(c) cron tab (7:51)
(d) display manager config file (9:28)
Thank you and kindest regards.
P.s. what about ??

I'm facing screen flickering problem. Specially, when I try to play any game or when I use LibreOffice, File Manager, Zoom etc. How can I be sure that my GPU is broken or it has any problem?

Just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and when I went to restart my computer I get to the password screen, enter my password, and THEN when I click enter, the screen suddenly locks with a bunch of horizontal lines across it!! My monitor is connected through a VGA port on an very old Emachines EL-1352G slim computer!! The stock display on the motherboard is a Nvidia set up which is part of the AMD motherboard!!

I was trying to make my windows on Linux MX very slightly bigger unfortunately I experienced a system crash and had to boot cycle the PC now everything is so massive on the screen I cannot see what I'm doing like wtf, , I really don't want to reinstall but I can't find a way to sort out display settings when I can't see what I am doing 😶‍🌫️

I recently installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, at first the system worked fine with the generic monitor driver and the resolution was at 1920x1080. Since I installed nvidia drivers I can only pick 1600x900 maximum, on Wayland the limit is even lower. I tried to force custom resolutions to no avail (cvt, xrandr --addmode, etc). My machine was previously a Windows 10 computer, all of sudden it had the same issue and I managed to force the correct resolution through nvidia control panel, but I don´t have the same options on Linux. There are any other way to try to fix this? Thank you.
