I tried switching to Linux on my main PC (cause I’m bored and I have an extra SSD to waste). Like the video shows, I can’t seem to get my left vertical monitor to properly configure on this OS. It’s completely broken. I can’t interact with anything on main monitor once I apply the settings as shown in the video.
The only way it works is if I keep my left monitor in horizontal position.
Google didn’t help and apparently it seems to be a common problem. It’s on me for choosing a broken distro but I kinda like it otherwise. I’d rather find a fix the screen problem.
I’m using an Nvidia 3070.
It’s not Endeavour’s fault (or Arch), if you’re new to Linux, and you’re running Nvidia, you’re probably on X11. You can check this by running nvidia-settings in the terminal. You can see if you’re running an X server (I think you’re using Xfce, which is the default DE for Endeavour iirc). If that is the case, then you’re on X11. In nvidia-settings, you can then configure the monitors, it’s a bit fiddly, but I’m running (on X11 with Nvidia) two monitors with a left vertical monitor, at different refresh rates even, and it works.
Also, make sure you have the Nvidia drivers, and not nouveau.
I tried Endeavour on i3 exclusively earlier and I was able to set up the monitor correctly by editing the config with vim. I think the problem was when I reinstalled it using xfce, the drivers I automatically got from
Didn’t work right so I had to find an alternative source. Now everything functions perfectly.
