Third Monitor issues, lose display settings on reboot - daviddavid - 02-03-2018
I recently installed a third monitor and it was working fine. I noticed though that every time I restarted my computer, I would have to fiddle with the display settings in order for it to work. I would have to disable/re-enable the monitor, move the 3 around so that they were in the right order or some other things too in order for it to be the way I wanted it. Those settings would never stick and finally now the last few times I started my desktop, I can't get anything to display on the third monitor. The third monitor has always been labeled as a "digital display" and not the actual name. But, when I got it working, it worked great.
I'm really not sure what's going on or why it works sometimes but not all the time. I used to have linux mint and it worked fine with that.
Here are some more details...
