Dual monitors with top/bottom configuration doesn't work

sasidakh · 2020-08-31 14:57:25

I am new to bunsenlabs, and love the experience so far. It is exactly what I am looking for. I just have one problem, when trying to setup my external monitor(which is mounted above my laptop) my laptop monitor stops functioning properly.

Have you tried with compositing OFF? (Menu > Compositor > Disable)

sasidakh · 2020-08-31 15:16:48

Oh. That worked. What was that?

damo · 2020-08-31 16:59:45

It is called "screen tearing". I bet you have recent Intel graphics - try the fix here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/in … cs#Tearing.

Or try a different "vsync" setting in the compositor: Menu > Preferences > Compositor > Edit Compositing Settings

Trying a different "vsync" setting worked.

I also had this issue - I found that right after I enable the extra monitor in RandR, I then had to reset wallpaper (also had to reset conky), and everything is fine (for the current session).

Top-down monitor setup with horizontal panel splitting the desktop in the middle usually works badly in openbox. If you see other strange issues, you can try a vertical panel layout.

^ OT, nice to see you still posting here, o9000 (developer and maintainer of tint2)!

Actually I have taken a break from open source work, but I still hang around this friendly community

ohnonot · 2021-04-21 06:10:59

^ That's nice to hear.
At times, this is the only forum I actually like logging into.

hhh · 2021-04-23 03:55:16

^ I'll try not to spoil that feeling for you.
