Mutliple screens showing under X server?
by Scribtor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59D0F)
The title is my best shot at condensing my current issue to a few words>
(Suggest a better one if you feel this isn't good enough)
Could be an unrelated issue, but after I installed slackware, I found myself stuck at first boot with not being able to start X server at all. Luckily for me, one giant slackpkg update later, the problem was resolved.
The current issue is not being able to use screen-sharing utility across all my apps that I use or could be using (Discord,Skype,AnyDesk etc) so I'm suspecting this is an OS issue, rather than app-specific.
Why, you ask? Because the screen constantly switches between currently open windows and a blank desktop background, and to whomever I share my screen, the result is the same: flipping between these windows, and sometimes even showing windows which were at one time open but not open at that moment...
So far, I found that when I issue a "xorgsetup" with X down, that the problem would fix itself afterwards, for a little while. Still not sure whether certain apps tend to reset these settings or is this somehow tied to some other settings changing, or some scripts re-running in the background
Any ideas/insights/eurekas would be awesome
