Hi,

I have a laptop with optimus videocard configured with randr.
Here is my .xinitrc

Code:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --auto
startxfce4


It worked until I wanted to connect an external screen.

With external screen I can see terminal.
If the screen is connected before I execute "startx" I see the same picture on both screens.

But when I try to modify my .xinitrc like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0
xrandr --output LVDS-1-0 --auto --output VGA-1-0 --auto --left-of LVDS-1-0
startxfce4

both screens are black. What do I do wrong?

solved changing XFCE settings:

Applications > Settings > Settings Manager > Display. Check on and check off "Mirror display" checkbox.
