Hi, I was just testing NomadBSD. All went well until I tried to change
the display settings on my old Dell Latitude E6230 (Intel graphics).
Both the internal display and external monitor were active by default,
and I only want to use the external monitor for now.
Unfortunately the display management utility (XRandr??) froze and I
could not exit it, so have had to drop to console to reboot or shut-
down.
Hi David,
did the entire GUI freeze? Could you please reproduce it, and run "top"
to see if there are processes in state ufs? If that’s the case, you’re
experiencing a deadlock caused by unionfs. Future releases are not af-
fected by this.
Any workarounds gratefully received -- particularly if there’s a way
of pre-setting this preference in some config file on the USB stick
before booting to NomadBSD, via a FreeBSD or Linux machine.
If you are running rr130c190919 you can put your xrandr settings into
/home/nomad/.screenlayout/default.sh which is executed at session start:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output NAME_OF_THE_OUTPUT --off
If you are running 1.2, simply add the line
xrandr --output NAME_OF_THE_OUTPUT --off
to /home/nomad/.xinitrc somewhere before the command which executes
openbox-session.
Regards,
Marcel
