Multiple Display Setup Problems after Systemupgrade

Hi :wave:,

i made a system upgrade today and for some reason i can only have now two of my three displays active. Two of the three displays are 2560*1440 (QHD, those are the ones the system defaults to) and my older widescreen (WS, 2560*1080). All are from LG if that matters. During login they are all active, but after logging in my WS turns off. Whenever I try to activate my third (WS)(pressing power button) it gets recognized for a very short time (around 1 sec) and then system settings default back to the two QHD-displays. When I disable one of the two active QHD-displays it instantly switches on my WS.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?

I’m running:

Thanks in advance!

inxi is way better

because everyone is used to the output of inxi

Here it is :slight_smile:

Also during login after boot all three are active. The WS turns off after logging in

As I realized from the

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width

DP-2 was turned off for whatever reason. It seems the update did some weird configurations that it shouldn’t have done. After some searching I found under https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xrandr#Testing_configuration the part of

$ xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto

which I modified to

$ xrandr --output DisplayPort-2 --auto

which finally turned my WS back on. Had to do some positioning afterwards in system settings as it overlayed on one of my other monitors but it did the trick. Just wanted to let you guys know and save whoever might stumble upon this in the future the around 4h of search I did.
