> If that's not a problem you have then great! But most people today are using multiple monitors. Just out of curiosity, what was complex about your quad 4k monitor configuration? As a lark, I've used xrandr to do all sorts of weird stuff and it has handled it just fine. I've been using multiple monitors with xorg for fifteen, twenty years. (For quite a while, I used three monitors, but now I just have two.) Until XR…
I think you're right it's probably nvidias fault rather than xorg - but my problems were solved by Wayland so it got me out of trouble. I had a similar problem to what the sibling comment mentioned - scaling was causing me performance issues. I disabled the laptop monitor and just ran multiple screens of the same resolution, and need about 150 % scaling to have text visible on these 4 X 32 inch 4 K monitors, but it w…
Your sibling didn't mention any performance issues at all. And yeah, nonsense like that sounds par for the course for nVidia hardware.
In re: per-monitor and also fractional scaling, check out what I played around with today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40437217>
EDIT: Oh, and yeah, your multi-monitor setup sounds not even a little bit complex. Four or more monitors on Xorg? Easy as pie, when you've not made the mistake of using nVidia hardware.
