No. | @15:44:04 leslie@pinto | wd=/home/leslie | $ ls -l ~/.trinity/share/config/displayconfig/ | /bin/ls: cannot access '/home/leslie/.trinity/share/config/displayconfig/': No such file or directory | rc=2 > > Also, depending on *why* you can't read the screen, it may be possible > to force-change the current display setup back to something more useful > using xrandr at the command line through your SSH session, but read > the man page first as it isn't the simplest thing to use. Well, xrandr shows the following (I filtered out the low-res settings; | @20:34:37 CyllarusCentaur@chestnut | wd=/home/CyllarusCentaur | $ xrandr|grep 'Screen\|DP-\|HDMI-\|3440x1440' | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3440 x 1440, maximum 16384 x 16384 | DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | HDMI-1 connected primary 3440x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800mm x 334mm | 3440x1440 100.00*+ 84.96 49.95 | HDMI-1-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | DP-1-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | DP-1-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | DP-1-6 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) | rc=0 which indicates that it is in its preferred (native) resolution. (I won't be using xrandr to modify any of the zillion settings shown on the info page; hardware stuff makes my head hurt. :-) I never should have messed with Monitor & Display in the first place.) > > E.
