To answer your question, yes I can setup my monitors with `xrandr` but I can also setup my monitors just fine the default way. The issue has nothing to do with configuring my monitors. When using Super + p after I used `xrandr` to configure my monitors, all configurations were lost just as they were with the normal way of configuring the monitors (`gnome-control-center`)
`xrandr` is not used for projector mode as that documentation is only used to configure the monitors, not control projector mode. Configuring my monitors is not what my issue is about. My monitors are setup properly. The only issue with setup is that since the migration from 16 to 18, my monitor IDs are in reverse order. Meaning, what was originally ID 0 is now ID 4. e.g. DP-0, DP-2, DP-4 are what I am currently using. In Ubuntu 16, my monitors were in this order of setup: - DP-2, DP-0, DP-4 Since the update to Ubuntu 18 this is the new IDs for monitors in the exact same setup - DP-2, DP-4, DP-0 You can see that DP-4 and DP-0 are switched due to the IDs being in reverse order for some reason. But I digress as this is important to make note but this is not the issue I am reporting. The issue I am reporting has to do with Super + p (projector mode) not working as expected. I think this ID order being reversed is part of the problem but this issue seems to be bigger. Super + p which controls the output for Projector mode simply does not work. The only part that works is the Mirror option. - Join - External - Built-in Do the exact same thing. They wipe out my monitor config and do nothing else. They do not disable any monitors (built-in and external should do this) and when I select Join, I expect to go back to my config as this is what the monitors were configured in but since my configs are reset, nothing happens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825071 Title: Super + p does not work as expected, it's defective Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have 3 monitors (2 landscape and 1 portrait), I normally need to change between my monitors due to my setup. If I want to play a game, I typically switch to a single monitor (Built-in) then I can switch back to Join and everything goes back to normal. That is what I would expect but that is NOT what happens. When using super+p there are 4 options: - Mirror - Join - External - Built-in The first two options work correctly, but the 3rd and 4th options do not. External and Built-in do the exact same thing: they simply shift my monitors around, lose all settings (reset everything). So all 3 monitors are still in use but settings are cleared (orientation, resolution, and frequency are reset). I have to then open up the settings to change it all back. When I go back to Join, I would expect the settings to return to normal. They do not. Super + P simply wipes out monitor settings in my case.
