Hi,

I'm running on a lenovo laptop and just tried switching to gnome from xfce, as it is the only supported desktop environment for Unity3d on linux. My problem is that after installing I have been unable to properly configure my dual monitors. It starts out with a funky configuration where the right monitor is arrived at through the upper right corner of the left monitor. I just want them side by side. When I try to do that using gnome's built in display(arrange combined displays), the screens go dark and when I reboot they haven't changed at all.


Distro: Xubuntu(Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
Monitors: 1. HP LV2311 2. Acer P216HL
gnome-panel --version RETURNS gnome-panel 3.18.3
(although I had to manually install gnome-panel after installing gnome so I could try to find the version)

I seem to have fixed the issue using ARandR.

Nice to hear. You should mark the thread solved, so others looking to help don't waste time, and others looking for solutions might find it.

Actually, what I did previously with arandr would need to be done every time I restarted, and also didn't even work sometimes. However, when I upgraded to the most recent ubuntu version 20.whatever it fixed everything and played very well with the most recent gnome.
