Relevant section from inxi, showing the built-in display once as Screen-1 (with its physical resolution)Īnd once as Monitor-2 (DP-4) with its resolution set by the nvidia-settings app: If the two apps were made consistent this issue could disappear altogether, that's why I used this subject for this post. I have the feeling that this issue comes from the cinnamon-display app which seems to use the built-in display's physical resolution instead of the target resolution set by tee nvidia-settings app. The whole screen on both monitors "scrolls up" like I was only seeing only half of a 4k "virtual display".

The actual resolution used is 2k on both displays (which is good), but when I move the mouse down to the bottom edge of the display, However the cinnamon-display app still sort of believes that the built-in display is set to 4k and places the external display in its upper right corner. Well, the closest I got to my expected setup is setting the resolution manually for both built-in and external display with nvidia-settings to 2k and placing them side by side also there. Note: the external monitor's resolution can be changed in both apps and they are also consistent in what they show. The resolution of the built-in display cannot be changed at all with the cinnamon-display app.

I can change its resolution with nvidia-settings from (default) 4k to 2k, but the cinnamon-display app still shows 4k (grayed out). There's a display resolution discrepancy with the built-in display between what nvidia-settings and cinnamon-display apps shows. However it was working ok with LM19.2 + Cinnamon DE + latest nvidia driver there (I think it was 470) This setup has issues with the combination of LM21.1 + Cinnamon DE + latest nvidia driver (525), My laptop has a 4k LCD panel with an nvidia gpu, but I normally use it in 2k resolution, often also connecting an external (2k) monitor via hdmi as well. I also looked around in this forum, saw similar posts but none of them seems to be covering this exact issue. The upgrade at the end went fine but I now have some display related issues that I did not manage to solve,Įven after spending days searching the web and trying out different things (not further detailed here). I've recently upgraded the OS on my laptop from LM19.2 to LM21.1 (via several stepstones). I've been using Mint for 10+ years on different computers but I'm new to this forum.
