settings and info:

xrandr -q outputs this info on my second monitor

HDMI-0 connected 1080x1920+3840+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm panning 1080x2160+3840+0 tracking 4920x2160+0+0 border 0/0/0/0

   640x480       75.00    72.81    59.94

the command I'm currently using at startup is:

xrandr --output DP-4 --primary &
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --right-of DP-4 --rotate left --auto &

what's going on:

I have a secondary monitor, hdmi-0, which is rotated to be tall.

the desktop is too tall for the monitor, resulting in scrolling along the y-axis.

I am unsure of how to fix this. this seems to be a new problem (when I set up this computer this behavior wasn't present -- but now: I have no idea what caused it)

from what I'm reading it's set to be 1920x1080 as a screen, but the desktop is 1080x2160... which is not the native resolution of the monitor... which I don't read in the list under xrandr -q... and if i try to set it with --mode 1080x2160... it can not find that mode. trying the other modes it scales in awkwardly... when i set it to 1920x1080... it scrolls along the y-axix (the 1920 distance... which isn't 1920 but 2160 instead...)

so how do I set the desktop to be in sync with the monitor resolution 1920x1080?

what the what?

also the monitor is:

Samsung SH650 Series 27 inch FHD 1920x1080

if that's important.

if i move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, it scrolls - hiding the top bar... if i move the mouse to the top of the screen - it reappears. this doesn't happen going left and right. the desktop is taller than the monitor. how do I fix that - is what I'm asking.

i fixed it by going to the nvida-settings gui

sudo nvidia-settings

then going to Xserver display configuration > advanced .

and futzing with the settings there... ended up resetting it by detecting displays, and now it works as expected (no panning, desktop is the same size as monitor now)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
