Xubuntu Multiple Screens, Nearly working...... Nearly

kraziekris · 02-14-2017, 03:40 AM

Hi, after trying every Linux Distro for my lenovo P50 I have found Xubuntu to be the best suited as it nearly works out of the box.

The only trouble I am having is that Linux sees both my screens as 1 screen so when I maximise an app it pans over both screens.

How can I fix this so maximising an app just maximises to the screens its on?

Thanks

Chris

it can be done with xrandr (cli).
i usually use arandr, which gives me a visual representation of my screen layout (i can drag them around to suit).
but i'm pretty sure xfce includes some useful utility to do that; search screen or display or monitor from the menu.

Alt+F2 and enter this

Code:

xfce4-display-settings

Adjust to suit?
Could be compositing?... just sayin'

Windows Manager Tweaks > Placement tab...

Code:

xfce4-settings-manager &

All available off the menu.
