I can't imagine that this bug has anything to do with xfwm4 or Xfce in general.
If you're not seeing a screen / display exposed through RandR but you see it through Nvidia's settings UI then it sounds like the driver or the combination of driver and kernel are at fault. Xfce builds on top of RandR and can therefore only react to what it gets from there, so I'm afraid there's nothing much that can be done on the Xfce side. I would suggest you try different versions of the Nvidia driver (maybe you can get the same one you used for 18.04 just to exclude that) or even the open source nouveau driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
