I have swapped the two monitors and now I can at least see the desktop :) using an ACER AL2216W with 1680x1050 display : [olivares@tricorehome /usr/home/olivares]$ xrandr -q xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050 default connected 1680x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1680x1050 60.0* 1400x1050 60.0 75.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1440x900 75.0 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1366x768 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 70.0 60.0 896x672 60.0 832x624 75.0 800x600 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0 65.0 700x525 75.0 60.0 640x512 75.0 60.0 640x480 75.0 73.0 67.0 60.0 720x400 70.0 576x432 75.0 512x384 75.0 70.0 60.0 416x312 75.0 400x300 75.0 72.0 60.0 56.0 320x240 75.0 73.0 60.0 Thank you for hanging in there with me.
