My goal is to setup my openbox laptop with the lid closed
and the primary monitor being the external one mirroring
the image from the internal monitor.
The internal monitor resolution 1280x800 is
different from the external one which is 1280x1024.
The mirroring is messed up. When i play a video with
smplayer the external monitor dont use the full size of the external monitor.
I put into autostart the following
xrandr --output VGA-1 --auto --primary --output LVDS-1 --auto --same-as VGA-1
Even tried this:
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode "1280x800_60.00" &
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode "1280x1024_60.00 --primary" &
xrandr --output LVDS --same-as VGA-1 &
But its no good.
I know both monitor can use 1024x728.
Maybe that would need to be set up with
VGA-1 being the primary monitor?
Could someone help me please to correct
my xrandr commands?
I tried to setup the monitor mirroring with Gui
applications but non of them save the config files
under openbox.
Have no succes with:
lxqt-config-monitor and mate-display-properties .
