Dual screen configuration (X11 + qtile)
by AdrianMorales from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JDQZ)
Hello,
I want to use an HDMI monitor as my secondary monitor, but I can only configure it as a duplicate of my laptop's monitor
Here my 10-monitor.conf:
Code:Section "Monitor"
Identifier "eDP1"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI1"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Laptop"
Monitor "eDP1"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "HDMI"
Monitor "HDMI1"
EndSectionAnd my qtile screens conf:
Code:Screens = [
Screen(
top=bar.Bar(
...some widgets...
),
Screen()
]
