I can see two monitors, one in HDMI and another in Display Port.

but I can see only one from XFCE:

It looks like two to me.

What happens when you click the select element (dropdown) to view the settings of the other monitor??

Sorry I can’t post the screenshot but is only monitors #1 and #2 like in the previous screenshot.
Do you know what? Maybe it is better I make a shutdown and I start my laptop from scratch

Sorry the cable was not connected properly.
Thanks.

That’s… two monitors, not one.

Sorry, but I’m not understanding your issue at all. Do you actually have three monitors including the laptop… monitor (screen)… and you only see one of the two monitors (in addition to the laptop screen)…

Is that what you were trying to communicate? :person_shrugging:

Aside:- Adding “[solved]” to the title isn’t how the Manjaro forum works. Instead, you should usually hit the tick under the post that helped you most - that’s how it’s marked as solved. I have edited the title to remove “[solved]”; now it’s up to you to do it properly. :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers.

Well, it looks like that isn’t happening any time soon…
