How do you change the preferred resolution with xrandr?
I am cloning my 1920x1080 monitor display to a TV (1366x768) using a splitter device. It works fine except rebooting moves all my icons up on the desktop, forcing them into a space of the lower resolution. With the TV HDMI unplugged, the icons stay in the desired locations, and xrandr
shows the chosen (marked with the asterisk *) and preferred (marked with the plus +) resolution of 1920x1080.
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-A-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm
1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00 59.94
1680x1050 59.88
<snipped>
But with the TV plugged in, xrandr
shows
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-A-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 853mm x 480mm
1366x768 59.81 +
1920x1080 60.00* 50.00 59.94
1280x720 60.00 50.00 59.94
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32
720x576 50.00
720x480 60.00 59.94
640x480 60.00 59.94
720x400 70.08
Is there a way to set the preferred '+' down to the 1920x1080 line?
