Not relying on KDE Plasma to correct monitor layout

#linux #tutorial #bash

Summary

  • KDE Plasma seems to forget the setting for monitor layout at certain event. I lost the setting while I was investigating about how I can avoid my X1E2 to get crashed with an extra monitor when turning on vsync to play a game.
  • This corrects the monitor layout issue.
  • My X1E2 has 1920x1080 and the external monitors have 2560x1440.

Scripts 

/usr/local/bin/layout-monitors ==================== #!/bin/bash xrandr \ --output DP-0 --auto --size 2560x1440 --panning 2560x1440 \ --output DP-1 --auto --pos 2560x0 \ --output eDP-1-1 --auto --primary --pos 640x1440
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup ==================== #!/bin/sh # Xsetup - run as root before the login dialog appears if [ -e /sbin/prime-offload ]; then echo running NVIDIA Prime setup /sbin/prime-offload /sbin/prime-offload fi # Important: Put at last because it does not work otherwise # ===== FROM HERE ===== if [ -e /usr/local/bin/layout-monitors ]; then echo running layout script /usr/local/bin/layout-monitors /usr/local/bin/layout-monitors fi # ===== TO HERE =====
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
