- HEADLINE: External monitor that 'just works' w a laptop, including window management across desktops
- DESCRIPTION:
Right now plugging in an external monitor vs unplugging and walking away from my desk results in a 'shuffle'. All my windows get strewn across the desktops seemingly at random. And even then, ALT+TAB mis-reports which windows are in which desktop. So tabbing to a window results in nothing ... but then that window will show up on the space it should've been.
This is to say nothing of the display drivers that I need to use to get the external monitor working. Just mirroring, no fancy resolutions here. And 1/10 times unplugging my monitor will result in a black screen on the laptop.
