When I open screen settings, my 2 monitors are identified correctly with the correct resolutions, but if I make any changes in the settings, nothing happens, the dialog silently ignores my settings. I have tried to start the dialog directly by the command mate-display-properties in the hope to get some hint on what happens, but there is no output in the cli.
In the meantime, there are no problems to manually configure the displays directly with xrandr which on my system is located at /usr/bin/. Anyway I would prefer using the dialog which for me is much faster than the xrandr command line.
Any ideas?
