Whenever I reboot, turn off, or shut down my computer my monitor settings change back to what they were when I first installed this operating system.
I go to change it in Monitor Settings (when I hit "About" it tells me it's LXRandR 0.3.2) Afterwards hitting "Apply" then "Save"
I'm currently on a fresh install of garuda i3wm (garuda-i3-linux-zen-211028.iso).
I have 2 monitors. A 1680x1050 acer monitor and a 1920x1080 msi monitor. I want to configure them such that the acer monitor is on the left and my msi monitor is on the right running at 144 hz. The orientation and relative locations are correct on every boot but I can't get the 144hz to stay.
I've tried out the Display Manager multi-monitor configuration guide but it didn't work, the files I created are still on my system however.
Aside from that, all I've done so far is run sudo Pacman -Syu to keep things up to date, changed my resolution a few times using the xrandr, and ran inxi -Fxz for this post.
