Dual monitors setup and drivers
by makem from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q4XB)
I was using xubuntu 20.04 with an MSI monitor which was using whatever default drivers were installed when the initial installation was made some while ago.
I have added a ASUS monitor to work as a second desktop allowing me to play a game on my main MSI monitor whilst browsing the internet on the ASUS monitor.
The MSI is connected via DDP to DDP and the ASUS, HDMI to HDMI.
When I first started the computer I updated the software and opened the Display settings. This only showed the MSI monitor with a default resolution of 1024 x 768. None of the settings for the display could be altered.
I restarted the computer and the ASUS monitor then showed my desktop with the resolution 1024 x 768 although the icons and text appear smaller.
The Display settings only show one monitor in both General and Advanced settings and nothing can be altered.
Where do I go from here to achieve my desires please?
I suspect it is the introduction of DDP?
I have an ongoing problem in that the kernel drivers for the integrated GPU are not properly loaded.
This problem is detailed in the below link where it is being debugged.
Maybe this is related?
