greets!
I was trying to get a second monitor (a tv) to work using xrandr. I noticed
that the screen on the laptop would suffer severe, almost 'psychedelic',
effects if I hit a certain setting.
unfortunately I don't recall the setting but the ill effect was consistent
and rendered the display nearly unreadable. and the only solution was to end
the session.
then by accident I hit the 'save this configuration' key and now the setting
is permanent.
btw I created a second user and it doesn't suffer from the problem.
I cannot find a way to restore the proper display setting. there's no
configuration file I can find for xrandr.
it's an Asus Zenbook with Intel HD graphics.
I am considering shifting to the second user and grappling with the UID and
GID changes. I ultimately want to get back to using the original username.
surely there is a simpler solution. perhaps purge xrandr?
xrandr doesn't have a "save this configuration" key; it is
command-line only.
What *randr program were you using?
arandr
lxrandr
something built in to a desktop environment?
