I tried to get my external screen on zoom level 100% while my laptop screen needed to stay on 200%. I must have done something wrong, because now only my external screen is working.

xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 6400 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP-0 connected 2560x1440+3840+29 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm panning 2560x2160+3840+0 tracking 6400x2160+0+0 border 0/0/0/0

   640x480       75.00    59.94    59.93  
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   3840x2160     60.02 +
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

The DP-2 is my lap-top screen. When I try to set my laptop screen to auto, I get an error:

xrandr --output DP-2 --auto
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  47
  Current serial number in output stream:  47

Listing the monitors only shows my external screen:

xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 1
 0: +DP-0 2560/597x2131/336+3840+29  DP-0

I would be happy if I got things back to normal. Please keep in mind that I am not very experienced with Linux.

  • Never had this problem but I would type dmesg and look for device error messages. Sep 19, 2019 at 12:40
  • I've added the dmesg output. Does seem to be an issue with nvidia, but not sure if it is relevant. Sep 19, 2019 at 17:53
  • Tainting the kernel is irrelevant. the PCI errors are the concern I think especially at 02 which I think is for Nvidia card. Sep 19, 2019 at 21:49

What solved it for me:

locate monitors.xml
/home/username/.config/monitors.xml

rm /home/username/.config/monitors.xml

And than go to Settings -> Screen Display -> Join Displays -> Apply

Now my both monitors are back in business again.
