Fedora 36 Display

When the system boots up everything is fine, but when the screensaver is turned on for a bit, it seems like the display contexts for the duel monitors is lost and is set to mirroring the one monitor onto the other, and I have to go and change it back, only to have it happen again every time i go back to use my computer since only on reboot does it pick them up correctly.

I'm not sure exactly where to begin looking, if its an xorg config i should be worried about or if its something going on with xfce and the screensaver and their interacting with the waking process or what. in my search I was lead to this forum and figure it would be worth a post.

thanks for your time and consideration

Re: Fedora 36 Display

Hello and welcome.

Which version of Xfce is on Fedora 36?
Which screensaver are you using?
Can we see your Xfce display settings:

xfconf-query -c displays -v

Re: Fedora 36 Display

Hello and welcome.

Which version of Xfce is on Fedora 36?
Which screensaver are you using?
Can we see your Xfce display settings:

xfconf-query -c displays -v

Xfce Version: 4.16
the result of the xfconf call is:
"No property specified."

and i believe it would be the xfce-screensaver that comes with it this version as I didn't install anything separate.

Ive had this issue for a while on my systems, actually a couple years, never bothered me a crazy amount cause its ussually hours of work before stopping or days without being on my computer, but i figured id try to figure it out. in this case for any extra information this is following a minimal install of fedora 36, then a groupinstall of the xfce desktop, with the rpmfusion repos(an extra maybe 50 packes for the install)

Thank you for you response, and thank you for the welcome.

Re: Fedora 36 Display

Sorry, my bad. It should have been:

xfconf-query -c displays -lv

and i believe it would be the xfce-screensaver that comes with it this version as I didn't install anything separate.

Can we confirm?

ps -ef | grep screensaver
