Configure two monitors
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I paste the code in ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc in line 26
'''
# change these values according to your system
# you can use xrandr -q to get the names of monitors
INTERNAL_MONITOR="eDP"
EXTERNAL_MONITOR="HDMI-A-0"
if [[
bspc monitor "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' ''
bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' ''
bspc wm -O "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" "$INTERNAL_MONITOR"
else
bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ''
fi
'''
and change de values of INTERNAL_MONITOR and EXTERNAL_MONITOR
and nothing happens.
can you help me please?
I don't know if this helps you, but I did it this way... and then with xrandr I defined the positions of the monitors, however, every time I turn it on I start autorandr to get the configuration I made with the correct guidelines.
change these values according to your system
# you can use `xrandr -q` to get the names of monitors
INTERNAL_MONITOR="HDMI-0"
EXTERNAL_MONITOR="DP-1"
if [[ $(xrandr -q | grep "${EXTERNAL_MONITOR} connected") ]]; then
bspc monitor "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '1' '2' '3' '4'
bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '5' '6' '7' '8'
bspc wm -O "$EXTERNAL_MONITOR" "$INTERNAL_MONITOR"
else
bspc monitor "$INTERNAL_MONITOR" -d '1' '2' '3' '4' '5' '6' '7' '8'
fi
