Unable to set monitor resolutions correctly

Post by acetate »

Hi,

I currently run Mint 18.3 and have 2 monitors with native resolutions 1920x1200 (primary) and 1920x1080. After changing down to a lower resolution I am unable to set my resolutions back to native values.

I have my primary monitor set correctly at 1920x1200 but when I use the display applet to set the secondary screen to 1920x1080 cinnamon freezes and I am unable to click on anything. I am forced to CTRL-ALT-F2 to a terminal and reboot.

The issue is profile specific as I can log on to another account and the monitors are set correctly. How can I fix the display settings in my profile, or conversely set the display settings back to default.

Thanks.
