I used intel xorg driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel) plus i965-va-driver on Debian Bookworm; everything worked fine, 2D, 3D, video acceleration. After updating to Trixie, intel xorg driver (same setup as bookworm) doesn't provide acceleration. glxinfo shows LLVMpipe instead of Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 (KBL GT2) (that's the graphic device on my laptop). I switched to modesetting as suggested for years on Debian; 2D, 3D acceleration works fine on modesetting, but as expected, I have screen tearing on videos. I'd prefer to avoid xorg compositors. Wayland is not an option for me due to certain apps I use and still don't work well on it. Any ideas how to have acceleration using intel driver on Trixie, as in Bookworm?

I'm trying to get my keyboard to use the us layout with variation altr-intl and no deadkeys. Somehow my xorg-keyboard-config does not take effect. I looked up the config here arch-wiki but there seems to be a mistake in my config which I was unable to find. My current (not working) config looks like this: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf # Written by systemd-localed(8), read by systemd-localed and Xorg. It's # probably wise not to edit this file manually. Use localectl(1) to # instruct systemd-localed to update it. Section "InputClass" Identifier "system-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl" Option "XkbOptions" "nodeadkeys" EndSection I get it to work by using the following command but as you might know this is not persistent: setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option nodeadkeys I don't want this command to end up in my xprofile file or such. I would prefere to do it in xorg as I did with my trackpad, mouse ect. The keyboard I'm using is a keychron k2 connected by cable. Here is the output of xinput, in case the keyboard doesn't get identified correclty: xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Synaptics TM3053-003 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Keytron Keychron K2 id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech Wireless Mouse id=17 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech Wireless Keyboard PID:4023 id=18 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Keytron Keychron K2 id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Keytron Keychron K2 id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Logitech Wireless Keyboard PID:4023 id=19 [slave keyboard (3)] I tried to identify the keyboard by using "MatchIsProduct" "Keytron Keychron K2" without any luck either. I'm running manjaro i3 community edition. The keyboard settings set in the manjaro-settings are also the wanted layout so I don't think that these settings would mess up my xorg config. I'm trying this on a thinkpad T550. With the current config I get the us keyboard without deadkeys but the altgr-intl variant is not active.

I'm on a laptop with no additional monitors connected, but when I run xrandr -q, the output lists two connected devices. Xfce's Display settings dialog also shows two monitors, and so does Xorg.0.log. Here's the xrandr -q output:

Is this normal? If not, what can I do to remove this imaginary monitor? Restarting the laptop (with no external monitors connected at any point) doesn't change anything. (My guess it that something about this is causing a weird display problem I have - my login screen starts at the wrong resolution, and afterward the resolution gets corrected but the virtual desktop sizes are wrong.) Here are related Xorg.0.log lines - DP-1 (the imaginary monitor) does not have an EDID, but it is listed as connected with initial mode 1024x768, and also seems to somehow cause eDP-1 (the actual laptop monitor) to use initial mode 1024x768 instead of 1920x1080; then it gets classified as a keyboard for some reason:

Unfortunately my Xorg.0.log.old is from the same day and has the same issues, but I found an Xorg.1.log.old from last year which doesn't. It lists the same eDP-1, but doesn't list any information for DP-1 or classify it as a keyboard or list it as connected, and the initial display mode was 1920x1080 (which is what it should be):

I'm on a ThinkPad P1 with Xubuntu 20.04 and Xfce 4.14.

I would like to start a new Xorg server on a **remote** host. At first, I tought this would be as easy as it is on the local host: $ xinit /usr/bin/startxfce4 -- :4 On a _local_ host, this command typed into a (non-graphic) login shell (vt/tty) will start _another_ Xorg server, i.e. I will have a xfce4 desktop after this - and this desktop is _additional_ to my normal desktop started from login from the desktop manager (e.g. sddm). However, if I try that on a _remote_ (fedora) system from the ssh console: X.Org X Server 1.20.6 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: 5.0.6-200.fc29.x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux noah.siteos-lokal.de 5.5.10-200.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 18 14:21:38 UTC 2020 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos3)/vmlinuz-5.5.10-200.fc31.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/vg_sdd-root ro rd.luks.uuid=luks-a9eba963-ff2e-499b-a298-0659c5e29359 rd.lvm.lv=vg_sdd/root rd.lvm.lv=vg_sdd/swap rhgb quiet resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/73299393-6bdb-4230-a1ca-096e5ee32396 splash=silent quiet video.use_native_backlight=1 Build Date: 25 November 2019 12:00:00AM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.20.6-1.fc31 Current version of pixman: 0.38.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Slax uses X.org for managing its GUI. However, when I boot Slax (specifically in a VM), the resolution gets capped at 1024x768. How can I increase the resolution to more fully utilize the screen estate available on my display? I have already attempted to follow the old advice from the following sources: - http://old.slax.org/forum.php?action=view&parentID=25516 - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mandriva-30/changing-screen-resolution-552768 - http://slaxlive.blogspot.com/2005/07/slax-linux-step-by-step-first-step.html

I recently purchased a backlit keyboard that was designed such that the Scroll Lock key was used to toggle the back light. I quickly found that Cinnamon does not respond properly when the Scroll Lock key is pressed. Originally, I thought the keyboard backlight was DOA because everything else worked out of the box. After a reboot I found that before launching Xorg I was able to successfully toggle the backlight using the Scroll Lock key. Then, once again, after starting Xorg (and consequentially cinnamon_session), this functionality stopped working once again. In order to get the backlight working after launching Xorg I was forced to issue a: xset led named "Scroll Lock" to enabled and disable this functionality. After a bit of research I came across a program called xev that dumped key event information to the terminal after it was started. Upon pressing the Scroll Lock key the terminal was populated with this information: >KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x2df, subw 0x0, time 2609824, (410,0), root:(1724,142), state 0x0, keycode 78 (keysym 0xff14, Scroll_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False >KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001, root 0x2df, subw 0x0, time 2609912, (410,0), root:(1724,142), state 0x0, keycode 78 (keysym 0xff14, Scroll_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: So I know the key event is being sent to the kernel. Also, interestingly, I observed strange behavior when in the terminal (still prior to launching Xorg or Cinnamon) and using Scroll Lock. Namely, at this point my backlight was toggling as expected, but when Scroll Lock was enabled nothing I typed was written to the screen. After disabling Scroll Lock everything I had written was immediately dumped to the terminal as if it was previously being buffered. **tl;dr** What is the deal with Scroll Lock and Xorg?

I have installed latest Debian Stretch on my MSI laptop and I want to install Nvidia proprietary drivers for my GTX 1060 graphics card. I followed this guide on Debian's wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers .

I have total of four monitors. One (1680x1050) is connected to integrated Intel display adapter, and three (1440x900 and two 1920x1080) are connected to dedicated ATI display adapter. With certain XRandR configurations some monitors have their display area cropped, so that for example lower part of the screen is not usable. I'd like to use configuration like this one: xrandr \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x1080 --rotate left \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x30 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1080 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal But the lower part (below the bottom edge of the bottom right screen) of the bottom left screen is cut off: On the other hand, this configuration works: xrandr \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x1050 --rotate left \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1080 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal , as shown here: Also this configuration works: xrandr \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x0 --rotate left \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x1440 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1440 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x360 --rotate normal , as shown here: In addition, the configuration below works xrandr \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x1080 --rotate left \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x30 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1440 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal as shown here: **UPDATE:** Strangely, I managed to get the wanted layout by command sequence: xrandr \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x1080 --rotate left \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x30 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1440 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal xrandr \ --output HDMI2 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x30 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal \ --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 --pos 780x1080 --rotate left \ --output HDMI-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1680x1080 --rotate normal \ --primary so that it works on freshly started Xorg instance, but I don't have a clue why it works. Besides, that solution seems a bit ugly. Can anybody enlighten me on this issue, please? My OS is Arch Linux, window manager is i3, and the version of XRandR is 1.4.2. Xorg configuration files have only InputClass and Files sections.

I am trying to use syndaemon to disable my touchpad while I type. I know that the GUI for this doesn't work for many people but all the posts I've seen online suggest that using syndaemon from the command line should work. It doesn't work for me, however. To test whether the touchpad is off while I type, I type with one hand while moving the mouse and clicking with the other. I've also tried turning on palm detection, which I test just by typing for a while and seeing if I get a touchpad click (I always do, pretty promptly).

I am running Fedora Work Station 41 on GNOME and Wayland. I am using a Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless mouse with the provided dongle. I also have Solaar installed. If I right click on a System Window control (this wording may be incorrect) and it opens the context menu, I cannot click on any other window or interact with anything else, using this mouse, until I either close the context menu by clicking inside the same window (as where I clicked to open the context menu) or if I choose an option from the menu. In other words, the focus is stuck on the parent window owning the right click menu, but only for the Logitech Mouse... I also have a USB Corsair mouse connected with which this problem does not reproduce. I tried installing solaar to get full control and drivers for the mouse, but no change. This works on X11, not on wayland. I have tried searching for hours for a solution, but found nothing. I found some similar issues for other mice, but those were for X11 and editing xorg.conf. On X11 I have no issue. Anyone have any ideas? For example here, I can only click inside the terminal or choose an action. Clicking on the window in the background or on my second monitor will not close the context menu, nor change the window focus. As I said, this works fine with a regular USB mouse. The issue also does not reproduce on "third party" context menus, such as google chrome right click. I am mainly seeing the issue with my terminal emulator (gnome terminal) and the default (nautilus) file manager context menus.

I have a powerful machine that I want to use as a multi-seat system. It has two graphic cards and two pairs of keyboards and mice. I've been able to successfully configure two "seats" using udev and Xorg.conf, and launch two X servers from a script so two users can have independent sessions. Just for the record, here's my udev rules file, where I identify each USB hub and label the devices and the seats: SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card[0-9]*", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x10de", DRIVERS=="nvidia", TAG+="master-of-seat" # SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card0", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0" # SUBSYSTEM=="drm", KERNEL=="card1", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat1" SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}="input_default" # KVM HUBS KERNELS=="3-2", ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="09", ENV{KVM_HUB}="1", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0" KERNELS=="3-8", ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="09", ENV{KVM_HUB}="2", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat1" # Devices of HUB 1 KERNEL=="event*", ENV{KVM_HUB}=="1", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01" SYMLINK+="kvm_keyboard_1" KERNEL=="event*", ENV{KVM_HUB}=="1", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02" SYMLINK+="kvm_mouse_1" # Devices of HUB 2 KERNEL=="event*", ENV{KVM_HUB}=="2", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01" SYMLINK+="kvm_keyboard_2" KERNEL=="event*", ENV{KVM_HUB}=="2", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02" SYMLINK+="kvm_mouse_2" # Default seat SUBSYSTEM=="input", TAG=="seat", ENV{ID_SEAT}=="" , ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0" # set all tags accordingly ENV{ID_SEAT}!="", ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}+="$env{ID_SEAT}" TAG+="$env{ID_SEAT}" The relevant part of my xorg.conf file looks like this: Section "ServerFlags" # Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" # Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false" Option "DefaultServerLayout" "Layout0" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true" Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection # --------------------------------------------------------------- # LAYOUT Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen "Screen0" MatchSeat "seat0" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout1" Screen "Screen1" MatchSeat "seat1" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection As I said, **I can successfully launch** two independent sessions using the following script, but I'd like this to happen automatically on boot. #!/bin/bash set +x rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf cp ./xorg_independientes /etc/X11/xorg.conf # X (:0) systemctl stop gdm killall Xorg killall X systemctl restart gdm sleep 7 # X (:1) su - sit -c "startx /usr/bin/gnome-session -- :1 vt4 -layout Layout1 -seat seat1 -sharevts" & sleep 10 DISPLAY=:1 xhost + My approach would be setting the default target runlevel to 4 (so it has everything but graphics) and then placing these commands in a script somewhere.

I have run multiple xrandr commands to set all my monitors settings as I want them. Then I used autorandr to save the state to a config file printed here:

I have been using autorandr --change 3-displays in my window managers startup script to configure the displays, but I run into problems with this approach if I enable lightdm to get the greeter/login screen, which is run before my window manager, and in extension before my monitors are configured correctly. Because of this, the login screen is displayed on the wrong monitors in the wrong resolutions and orientations. Because of this I now wish to transfer these settings to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file. Here is my attempt so far:

Sadly, this does not seem to work. My gaming display is not getting set to 144 Hz refresh rate, the orientation on my DVI screen is all wrong and the positions seem to be ignored as well. I have previously had startx fail because of bad xorg.conf values, but using this config it starts without crashing. Am I missing something here? I just want my screens to be correctly configured in a nice and declarative way. Running a bunch of xrandr commands in scripts feels hacky. The xorg.conf file seems like the correct way to do it, but I am failing to get it to work correctly. Any help is appreciated.

I get this error when running 'startx'. What is this 'nv' module, and how do I stop Xorg from trying to load it? EDIT: I am going to try to blacklist the module 'nv' using the kernel command line. I'll update this post if that works. I installed the Nvidia drivers, nouveau drivers and intel drivers. I also added the Nvidia drivers to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (in MODULES). I'm on the latest version of Arch Linux. What I tried: - Created the xorg.conf file using nvidia-xconfig. On doing 'startx', nothing happens until I type 'exit' - Deleted the xorg.conf file. It yields the nv module error Also, is there a way to use the intel drivers instead of the nvidia drivers? I'd like to use this as a last resort.

Is there a way to simulate a physical HDMI cable unplugging and replugging on a Linux system running Xorg with AMDGPU driver? In my Xfce system on X11, I have trouble with monitor output/connector detection. In particular, when the system transitions from the Rescueshell/GRUB to the distro login manager (lightdm), the monitor turns blackish grey, and the only fix I've found so far is by unplugging the monitor's HDMI and replugging, or by changing the monitor's own FreeSync setting (Options: Standard Engine, Ultimate Engine, Off) in that black screen state and doing Ctrl+Alt+F2, which I think effectively "resets" the HDMI connection. Using drm.edid= as a kernel boot option can help with the issue, but having a valid Xorg.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ basically makes it useless and recreates the blackscreen, as I think Xorg/AMDGPU (my graphics driver) takes over control of the graphical output and uses the edid or modeline in the Xorg.conf, once it gets to the initial pre-login/post-login stage in lightdm. This switchup probably confuses my monitor. But I want to have a Xorg.conf for proper functionality. The blackscreen isn't completely black, as in a no signal, but it's somewhat grey. If I switch TTYs, the screen will flicker and go grey again, but there'll be no display at this stage. It's like the monitor is detected, but there the signal isn't interpreted right. I want to know if there is any way to make the KMS/DRM driver think that the monitor has been disconnected and reconnected, without a real physical disconnect, so the driver refreshes all "connectors" and hopefully gives output to the monitor, possibly using a udev HOTPLUG event. According to the answers in this question: , it is possible to use udevadm trigger to masquerade udev events to specific devices in /sys subsystems. Or by directly using echo ACTION > /sys/class/SUBSYTEM/DEVICE/uevent From udevadm trigger --verbose --action=help /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1 I get a list of all possible 'trigger' options:

add
remove
change
move
online
offline
bind
unbind

I've tried using all of them, but they don't do anything equivalent to a full replugging. The screen stays on the whole time. However 'change' using udevadm trigger --verbose --action=change /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1 forces a rescan for the device EDID in dmesg:

[34870.335496] Registering platform device 'HDMI-A-1'. Parent at platform

[34870.335746] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 0 extensions from "edid/1920x1080.bin" for connector "HDMI-A-1"

This does not turn off the screen though, and so doesn't help with the problem. Is there any way to mention a specific key / ENV{ATTRIBUTE} when triggering a udev event? For example someone else's udev logs during a monitor unplug and replug cycle:

udevadm monitor --environment --udev 
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing

which could indicate that hotplugging is not supported or triggered properly in my system, leading to my issues. I found a Gentoo forum post: which had my same question regarding unplug and replug, but there was not a solution there. I have tried echo off > /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status and echo on > /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status but it doesn't cause the monitor to turn off, only an EDID rescan in dmesg. The same thing as a udevadm trigger --action=change. echoing to enabled or dpms in that same directory doesn't seem to be allowed. I have tried xset -display :0 dpms force off (or -display :0.0) from a TTY/shell script, but it doesn't turn off the monitor. Though it works in a GUI of course, after I've already unplugged the monitor once. I tried

sudo mount -o remount,exec /dev
sudo vbetool dpms off
sudo mount -o remount,noexec /dev

from [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/vo7u7l/how_can_i_turn_the_display_off_in_a_tty/) and [this](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1384221/real-mode-call-failed-on-macbook-pro-when-trying-to-turn-screen-off-ubuntu-serve) , but it outputs Real mode call failed. So now I tried setterm --blank 1 from and consoleblank=200 (approximate bootup time for my device in seconds) as a kernel commandline parameter, and they also don't work as I want them to. They can turn off the screen, but it's not a hard enough reset that makes the monitor redetected like in a physical replugging. I've tried a systemd service like this ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'while [ -n "$(pidof lightdm)" ] || [ -n "$(pidof X)" ] || [ -n "$(pidof Xorg)" ]; do sleep 10; done; sleep 15; echo '' > /sys/module/drm/parameters/edid_firmware && pkill X' to restart X at the login prompt, but it doesn't help either. I came across this guide , which mentioned > void (*output_poll_changed)(struct drm_device *dev); > >This operation notifies the driver that the status of one or more connectors has changed. Drivers that use the fb helper can just call the drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event function to handle this operation. Is there a way I can compile a binary and call this function manually at X startup, to achieve what I'm looking for? Or is there any other solution to address this? I am having this issue on a PS4 system running Arch Linux, and I think the monitor might have trouble with EDID communication. So the hardware situation is a bit flaky, but most of the underlying mechanics are still the same.

^\_^ ### Synopsis I want to specify my primary monitor using system-wide X11 configuration files, but my present configuration files don't seem to do anything! 0_0 ### My situation I'm coming from the same place as this question here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/565553/why-doesnt-x11-set-the-only-monitor-as-primary-by-default Namely, I need the only monitor I have connected to be recognized as my primary monitor so that my tray icons in i3 work. That said, I don't want to solve this using using xrandr, because I'm trying to use as much as possible the same dotfiles on two different machines which have different hardware configurations. Therefore, I would like to solve this using the system-wide X11 configuration files. However, it doesn't seem to work as expected. :o ### My present setup At present I have no xorg.conf file, and I do have a xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf, the contents of which (following [this Arch Linux wiki page](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multihead#Configuration_using_xorg.conf)) are here:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "HDMI2"
    Option      "Primary" "true"
EndSection

In light of this configuration file, here is my xrandr output for a fresh X session:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP1 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 480mm x 270mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+
   1600x1200     60.00  
   1680x1050     59.88  
   1400x1050     59.95  
   1600x900      60.00  
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02  
   1440x900      59.90  
   1280x800      59.91  
   1152x864      75.00  
   1024x768      75.03    70.07    60.00  
   832x624       74.55  
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25  
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    59.94  
   720x400       70.08  
HDMI3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

As you can see, despite having specified HDMI2 in the configuration files as my primary monitor, DP1 is set as the primary. ### Stuff I've tried I've verified that my configuration file is being processed by X11 by introducing typos and observing that X11 fails to launch due to errors. I've tried placing the configuration file above in /etc/X11/xorg.conf instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf. I've tried including the following in an attempt to specify the default primary monitor as not primary:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "DP1"
    Option      "Primary" "false"
EndSection

I've tried launching with the default xorg.conf generated by X -configure alongside my 10-monitor.conf. ### Miscellaneous information

$ uname -a

On Linux (in recent versions), Xorg listens on both a Unix domain socket on the filesystem (/tmp/.X11-unix/X) and in the _abstract_ domain (shown as @/tmp/.X11-unix/X in netstat output). It also listens on TCP (port 6000 + ). One can stop it from listening on TCP by adding a -nolisten tcp, but how can we tell it not to listen on the abstract namespace?

I'm trying to build the Xorg X Window System Environment as outlined in Beyond Linux From Scratch Version 8.0. My BLFS system resides in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox Version 5.0.10 r104061.

I use Arch Linux + DWM on the X Window System. I can't copy from Vim to an external application, and the vim --version command returns -xterm_clipboard. As I understand it, I need to recompile my Vim and add clipboard support into the config file, but I don't know where to find it. Is it the ~/.vimrc file? I can't find the original PKGBUILD in my ~/vim/ directory either. I've tried to use **pacbuilder-svn** and ran:

$ pacbuilder --install --edit vim vim-runtime

But the script doesn't ask me whether I want to edit the PKGBUILD file; it just builds the packages and that's it. I've also tried to use **devtools** and ran:

$ sudo pkgctl repo clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git 

But it says:

failed to clone https://github.com/vim/vim.git 

How can I recompile my Vim with clipboard support? I would be grateful for your help.

I have a server (running Debian 9 Stretch) with proprietary Nvidia driver installed. It is for scientific computation so headless. So, the Nvidia driver is installed for using CUDA (during CUDA installation with a package file cuda_10.0.130_410.48_linux.run downloaded from Nvidia website). It used to work well. Two days ago, I rebooted the system to enter into the BIOS to disable HyperThreading. After rebooting, the Nvidia driver was not loading. I rebooted the system several times and it was the same. How can I bring it back?
