Why is there no more configuration for monitors from version 3.1 to 3.2?

I have to download Arandr or similar to get it done, and then it's not configured properly, and I have to re-configure every time I start the PC...

I know I can set the script to be on boot, but if the secondary monitor isn't there it will have an issue, if I add another monitor I have to do it again.

You took out the tools from 3.1 that were there that worked for setting the display, and made it that way forever, and autoconfigured the screens in general when they were added on...

Please add the tools back to make it work like 3.1 again.

Hi Drew,

This has been answered previously. The "kscreen" app was missed when they made the ISO and they have said that it will be put in the next release candidate.

If you want your screen settings options to be available, you can use the following command to install "kscreen".

From console in Dom0:
sudo qubes-dom0-update kscreen

Regards,
Iestyn Best

Thanks Iestyn , I had not seen this information anywhere when I searched for answers in this forum, nor on the Qubes Docs.

I'll have to add it to the Qubes installer IMG file then.

Thanks again.
