There are few basic options to set up and external monitor in XFCE including "expand to right/left" but that's not enough I want to set position exactly because my monitors have different size.    How do I do that, every other system/DE I used had advanced drag&amp;drop monitor position setting.

Even my main monitor is shown as unknown. I have tried setting up dual monitors using Nvidia settings with no joy however it does recognize that I have 2 monitors.  This was not an issue in 11.04. My problem with the Nvidia settings appears to be that my 2 monitors require different resolutions but even when I set them to a resolution that they both can handle, it is then only appearing in cloned mode. I really hope someone can help or I will have to roll back to 11.04.  Why won't Ubuntu 11.10 recognize that I have 2 Monitors?   Here is the contents of my xorg.conf:  # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings:  version 280.13  (buildd@rothera)  Thu Aug 11 17:28:49 UTC 2011  Section "ServerLayout"     Identifier     "Layout0"     Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0     InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"     InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"     Option         "Xinerama" "0" EndSection  Section "Files" EndSection  Section "InputDevice"     # generated from default     Identifier     "Mouse0"     Driver         "mouse"     Option         "Protocol" "auto"     Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"     Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"     Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection  Section "InputDevice"     # generated from default     Identifier     "Keyboard0"     Driver         "kbd" EndSection  Section "Monitor"     # HorizSync source: xconfig, VertRefresh source: xconfig     Identifier     "Monitor0"     VendorName     "Unknown"     ModelName      "CRT-0"     HorizSync       30.0 - 83.0     VertRefresh     50.0 - 76.0     Option         "DPMS" EndSection  Section "Device"     Identifier     "Device0"     Driver         "nvidia"     VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"     BoardName      "GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a" EndSection  Section "Screen"     Identifier     "Screen0"     Device         "Device0"     Monitor        "Monitor0"     DefaultDepth    24     Option         "TwinView" "1"     Option         "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"     Option         "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +1024+0, DFP: 1024x768 +0+0"     SubSection     "Display"         Depth       24     EndSubSection EndSection"   ok I have tried disper -e.

I can't find any settings inside the terminal profile to allow me to set a geometry size and screen x,y coordinates so that the terminal window always opens (even after reboot) in the same location on the screen and same size.  Is there a way to do it?  I'm open to alternative terminal programs if need be.  (Ubuntu, gnome)

I have Windows 7 64bit on a Lenovo T530 laptop (1600x900) with a Lenovo ThinkVision LT2452p monitor (1920x1200). I set up screen resolution like this:   Compose displays. Set the primary display to LT2452p monitor. Set the LT2452p monitor to portrait.   Effects:   Task bar is on the LT2452p monitor (exactly what I wanted). Minitor orientation is correct. Attached USB Mouse moves correctly. Touch pad directions are rotated 90 degrees. Moving up moves to cursor right. Moving right moves the cursor down. Mini joystick is rotated like the touchpad.   I browsed through the touch pad settings ("UltraNav" tab at mouse properties) but did not find any rotation options. It is not allowed to install any solutions from John Doe as it is a company laptop.  UPDATE: I also cannot install unmaintained software like, EeeRotate or ScreenMouseRotate.

Unity (I'm using Ubuntu Trusty if it matters) has these very handy shortcuts where you can press ctrl+alt+numpad to place a window in one of 8 predetermined positions. For instance, ctrl+alt+7 will place the window in the top left quarter of the screen, resizing it appropriately. ctrl+alt+8 will place the window in the top half of the screen, maximizing horizontally; similarly, ctrl-alt-4 will place it in the left half, maximizing vertically.  This makes it very easy to "tile" windows in a non-overlapping fashion and is a huge time-saver for arranging windows.  Sadly, these shortcuts are almost unusable on compact laptops (i.e. without a numpad, so basically everything under 15" screen size), as they lack a dedicated numpad. Some have an "overlaid" numpad, accessible by some arcane key combination, which makes things very cumbersome as the sequence becomes "enable keypad - place window - disable keypad". Some others simply lack numpad functionality.  Is there a way or alternative shortcut for Unity to use on these systems?  I'm thinking something using the Super key which is already used extensively by Unity, but I couldn't find such feature.

I have two monitors. The left monitor is set as primary, but the Unity Launcher appears on the right monitor.    How can I move it to the other monitor?

I run this command to allow me to move windows between screens:  xrandr --auto  This magic command fixes my screen for me (before I run this my 2nd monitor is just an empty space where I can move my mouse). How can I make whatever this command does stick when I reboot? I'm more interested in fixing my configuration than just re-running this command, but I'm clueless as to how to make this happen.  I have 2 monitors, DFP 5 and DFP 6. Running xrandr results in this:  DFP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP5 connected 1680x1050+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm    1680x1050      60.0*+    1400x1050      60.0      1280x1024      75.0     60.0      1440x900       60.0      1280x960       75.0     60.0      1280x800       75.0     60.0      1152x864       60.0     75.0      1280x768       75.0     60.0      1280x720       75.0     60.0      1024x768       75.0     60.0      800x600        75.0     60.3      640x480        75.0     59.9   DFP6 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm    1680x1050      60.0*+    1400x1050      60.0      1280x1024      75.0     60.0      1440x900       60.0      1280x960       75.0     60.0      1280x800       75.0     60.0      1152x864       60.0     75.0      1280x768       75.0     60.0      1280x720       75.0     60.0      1024x768       75.0     60.0      800x600        75.0     60.3      640x480        75.0     59.9   CRT1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   I have already set up DFP 6 to be right of DFP 5 using the Displays menu in debian.

Is there some way of taking a peek at what this command is doing to save the result to xorg.conf? How do you normally use xrandr to get the results to persist?   If I search for this I either get told to modify my xorg.conf file (which I don't know how to do because I don't know what xrandr --auto is actually doing) or instructions on how to run xrandr on startup, which I'm guessing isn't necessary, but I may be wrong.

I use a large monitor as primary and laptop screen as secondary. Is it possible to move the launcher to my big monitor or do I have to turn off my laptop monitor?   "Monitor Preferences" (Launcher search -> "Monitors") does not have a way to set the default/primary monitor. nvidia-settings which I just installed says "You do not appear to be using the NVDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.  sudo nvidia-xconfig says sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found.  I guess I don't have an AMD driver because I don't have "AMD Catylist Control Center" in the launcher search.

Is there such a thing?  I don't want multiple separate desktops, what I'd like to be able to do is split my main desktop into two areas so that an application in one when maximized won't take up the "Full" physical screen, but its portion of it.  I would like to be able to keep some apps maximized, but still view others off to the side with a single monitor.  Ideas?

I am writing a program which has two panes (via CSplitter), however I am having problems figuring out out to resize the controls in each frame. For simplicity, can someone tell me how I would do it for a basic frame with a single CEdit control?   I'm fairly sure it is to do with the CEdit::OnSize() function... But I'm not really getting anywhere...  Thanks! :)

Is there a free app that I can use to move a window from one monitor to the other monitor (assuming only two monitors) via the keyboard? I shouldn't have to use the mouse at all (e.g., for selecting the window or the monitor, or for dragging).  I know this can be done in Linux using compiz; I'm surprised there isn't a (free) option for OS X.

In my current configuration, I have a dock (which shows application icons) on the left of the screen. I was wondering whether it is possible to move the dock to the top when the monitor is rotated 90 degrees (so to avoid narrowing down the width of the screen). Also, I want the dock to be back in the original position when I go back to the horizontal monitor orientation. Could someone help me do this?  Environment  I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and using the default gnome desktop environment. My computer is a 2-in-1 laptop which automatically rotates screen based on device orientation.   Current Attempt  I looked into possible gnome extensions that would do this, but  did not have such options.

I recently saw  to a great question, and I wondered, is this also possible on Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and GDM, as well as on Compiz as the answer to that question shows?  But the keyboard shortcuts aren't so important for me, I just really want to be able to drag windows into the corners and have them automatically resize into those corners rather than on the sides when I release my mouse.

I would like to setup dual screens.  I've done multiple searches but there is nothing beginner-friendly for me to grasp exactly what I need to do to get the setup working.  I've picked up a few commands and here's what I have:  xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 476mm x 268mm    1920x1080      60.0*+    1680x1050      60.0      1280x1024      60.0      1440x900       59.9      1280x960       60.0      1152x864       75.0      1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0      832x624        74.6      800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2      640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0      720x400        70.1   DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   I suspect I should see either one of the following connected since I have the second monitor plugged in correct?

I use dual monitor setup with diffrent screen layouts. So I have a "Default_l" screen layout and a "Default_r" screen layout. Is there a way to automate the change of the screen layout: When I change one screen layout for example from "Default_l" to "Compositing_l" the other screen layout also changes from Default_r to "Compositing_r"?

If I have only the internal monitor (LVDS1) with an xrandr -o left command. Now I want to attach a second monitor, say to HDMI1. Then I'd like to rotate only the internal monitor, but not the external one. I tried the following (with no external attached though, since I am mobile currently), but that does not do anything:  xrandr --output LVDS1 -o left   How can I rotate only one monitor?  I do need some command line, since I want to put this into a script.

In XFCE4 desktop environments, alt+scroll wheel zooms my entire desktop. I'm finding this very annoying because sometimes I flick the scroll wheel to go to the top of a document then press the alt key for a some unrelated keyboard shortcut and find myself zoomed in so far I can't see anything at all. Is there any way to disable this feature?
