Hello,

I have been intermittently encountering an issue where dwm messes up
my monitor resolutions when powering on my two monitors. Frequently,
both screens will be combined on one monitor while the other monitor
does not receive input. The "Two independent outputs" section of the
multi monitor dwm documentation seems to describe what I am
experiencing. I tried using the xrandr options it mentions, but I will
still sometimes encounter the issue. Does anyone know how to prevent
this from happening?

Thank you,
Christopher

Hi Christopher,

Do you run the latest git version?

Can you try the commit
https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/d93ff48803f04f1363bf303af1d7e6ccc5cb8d3f.html
or if you run the git version revert the commit and see if it solves the issue?

Not sure if this is of any help, but I was having troubles with DWM on two monitors as well, one screen was not recognized by DWM.

A 1 second delay before running my screen layout script was enough to fix it, here's an explanation:
