Update!
I "dig" through my Backup(s) - Bingo! I found a File *dualmonitor.sh*
I put it back to/home/$USER/.screenlayout/dualmonitor.sh
Logout from XFCE, login back.... nothing happens
Folder .screenlayout = drwxr-xr-x
File dualmonitor.sh = -rwx------
maybe it is someone of the permissions?
desperate

Heyho,
I have setup a Desktop with Beowulf and XFCE. The install was done
with only one Monitor (Acer 24" HDMI)
I put on a other Monitor (Acer 20" VGA) and yes i get "Figure 3.
Configure new displays dialog." (*) In this display dialog i see the
first "confuses of left and right" The 20" stands *left* from
24" (for medical reasons i need it) I drag and drop the Icons to te
right places, how my monitors are positioned. I set 24" as default.
And XFCE use the 20" as default?! 24" shows only the default XFCE
Background. (***)
"if i want to reach the monitor left with the mouse i have to move
the mouse to the right."
Although, the 24" is the *default* Monitor XFCE give me the Menu and
other Desktop Items on the small one 20" ?? E.g. open Thunar ....
I *disable* the Small on 20", and the Monitor Icon for the 20" goes
automatically to the right side. See screenshot (**)
I make this settings as a "normal user" non root privileges. (***)
what can I do to make this program do what I want?
Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend
Michael
Do you have arandr loaded?
This isn't a soluton, but 'works' for me, YMMV.
In xfce -. right click -> Applications -> Settings -> Display
Identify the displays.
Set which one you want to be the primary.
Make sure it the other is not set as primary.
Drag each screen around to the L/R, or up/down relation ship you want.
Note, depending on the hardware you have, you can also set resolution
and refresh rates.
What doesn't work for me is the every morning, I then have a pop up
that asks e to chose between mirror or extend right, then I have to
close two popups.
What is in your dual-monitor.sh?
