I pressed something and accidentally swapped my two screens. My left one is actually considered as the right one, and vice versa. How can I swap them back?
Edit - Specifically, I'm using Gnome, though we might also want to keep this question generic.
Edit 2 - It appears that my driver isn't compatible with xrandr. I'm attaching log of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
here
xorg gnome xrandr monitors multi-monitor

Your upload only has the first 49 lines (and the relevant parts are later). Don't copy-paste from an editor, just upload the whole file.

Your desktop environment probably has a way, but you don't say which one you're using (if any).
If your display driver is compatible with the XRandR extension, which is the standard X.org method for managing display resolutions and arrangements, you can use the command-line utility xrandr
. I think the proprietary NVidia driver bypasses XRandR, so if you're using it, you'll have to use a dedicated NVidia tool.
Run xrandr
(with no argument) to see your monitor (screen) arrangement. You'll see lines like these:
DVI-0 connected 1600x1200+1600+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm
DVI-1 connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 306mm
This example means that I have two monitors called DVI-0
and DVI-1
, and DVI-1
is at the top left (position +0+0
) while DVI-0
is to its right (position +1600+0
). To swap them, I would run
xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of DVI-1

@ripper234: Your display driver isn't compatible with XRandR. What display driver are you using (not just nvidia/ati/intel, but which driver: nv/nouveau/nvidia/radeon/radeonhd/fglrx/â¦)? If you're not sure, attach the contents of/var/log/Xorg.0.log
to your question.

That swaps them around but now I can't scroll the mouse in the correct direction between them. When my mouse is on my right screen, when I scroll left, the mouse stops at the barrier of the right screen - it does not continue onto the left screen.
