Re: [dev] [dwm] Incorrect resolution when turning on dual monitors
I am using the latest git version, so I reverted the commit. However, I am still experiencing the issue after doing that.

I am assuming that your errors have something to do with the state of X when dwm is started, thus surely the way way to solve it should be to ensure that X is in the state you want *before* dwm is launched, no? I know the Xorg.conf syntax and documentation is a bit of a mess, but I have never encountered any issues interacting with a WM once I got it configured.

Thank you, Christopher Hi Christopher, Do you run the latest git version? Can you try the commit https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/d93ff48803f04f1363bf303af1d7e6ccc5cb8d3f.html or if you run the git version revert the commit and see if it solves the issue? Not sure if this is of any help, but I was having troubles with DWM on two monitors as well, one screen was not recognized by DWM. A 1 second delay before running my screen layout script was enough to fix it, here's an explanation: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/xrandr#Setting_resolution_from_.xinitrc_doesn't_work Regards, Yan OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

So whatever is going wrong is likely to be with the startup of your X server. I would suggest you investigate how the server starts in your case, and how it attempts to deal with multiple displays.

[dev] [dwm] Incorrect resolution when turning on dual monitors
Hello, I have been intermittently encountering an issue where dwm messes up my monitor resolutions when powering on my two monitors. Frequently, both screens will be combined on one monitor while the other monitor does not receive input. The "Two independent outputs" section of the multi monitor dwm documentation seems to describe what I am experiencing. I tried using the xrandr options it mentions, but I will still sometimes encounter the issue. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? Thank you, Christopher
