Otherwise # moving the cursor over certain windows on that screen triggers a fault wherein large parts # of the screen are misdrawn, viz. with outdated or misplaced content. This is repeatable # for a) Emacs windows maximized vertically or horizontally, b) Emacs and Firefox windows # together on the same screen and sometimes c) XFE windows. Cf. the namesake # footnote at `60_monitors.conf` and `60_screens.conf`. # # LRO Left-right orientation is from the computer’s view, viz. looking at the back of it. # # NSN Nominal `Screen` numbers. A numbering that contradicts the written order of screens # in the `ServerLayout` section will confuse the X server, resulting in this log message: # # (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. # # One correction is to reverse the numbers here; e.g. writing ‘0’ instead of ‘1’, and vice versa. # # ZH · Here use the name given by `/sys/class/drm/` except in the case of HDMI, for which use `HDMI-1` # instead of `HDMI-A-1`, and so forth. https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/MultiMonitorDesktop.html
