Hi,
I'm using an Intel NUC (BOXNUC8i5BEK1). I'm running Buster and the MATE
environment. I had been using a single monitor, via the HDMI port and a
VGA adapter, since I have a very old monitor.
A few days ago, I added a second monitor via the USB-C port and an
adapter, also to VGA. Actually this monitor has a DVI port, but I
happened to have a VGA cable right in front of me and the USB-C video
adapter has both ports. The Display applet let me set up the two
monitors with extended desktop quite easily.
(OK, technically I have *two* very old monitors.)
I had no screensaver, just having the monitors power off after an hour.
When powered back on, the monitors would be mirrored, with the larger,
higher-resolution monitor (connected via HDMI) mirroring the one
attached using USB-C (as shown by the Display applet, once I started
it). I tried installing xscreensaver. If it just displays and locks the
screen, the monitor settings remain. If the xscreensaver settings turn
off the monitors, they revert to mirroring as above.
Should I report this as a bug?
Suggestions?
Thanks.
