Hi all -
new Garuda user hear and I’ve seen some oddities with the XFCE environment that I wanted to understand better.
I run dual screens - a large display and the laptop’s native display. Unfortunately, XFCE only gives me an option of 2560x1600 for the laptop display which made things VERY small and near unusable. After some fiddling, I used a custom scale of X 0.5 and Y 0.5 and I could get the visibility I was looking for, but now the screen appears to scroll up and down within the confines of the monitor? For example, if I put my mouse on the right side of the laptop screen, it will scroll to the right causing the wallpaper to disappear. Similarly, if I put the mouse at the bottom of the screen, it scrolls down until the wallpaper disappears as well. I can scroll back up to what would be the top of the screen, but moving left causes the mouse to pop out onto my other monitor. Initially I thought it might’ve been the workspaces, but reducing the workspaces to 1, did not address the issue. Oddly, this scrolling behavior also appears to affect the dimensions of the primary display, removing the ability to access the left side of the screen?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
