Monitor — Advanced Settings

This article describes how to configure settings that extend the default Display component capabilities.

Examples:

  • multiple monitors
  • non-standard resolution
  • Configure different monitor settings for different users

Configure monitor settings on the ThinClient.

Using the ARandR screen layout editor, create and test a display configuration on the thin client.

  1. Select the System menu item and open ARandR_2025.jpgARandR_2025.jpg
  2. Configure display settings as required (layout, resolution, orientation, etc.).
  3. Test the settings by clicking the Apply button.
  4. Save the settings.
    ℹ️ The saved layout file is an executable shell script that uses the xrandr to set the display settings. View and edit the script with a text editor.

Assign monitor settings in openthinclient Management.

  1. Open the layout file with a text editor and copy the call to xrandr. Copy the entire line — including the word xrandr.
  2. Create a new Display component and insert the xrandr command under the menu item Custom xrandr Command (takes precedence).
