Hey all, I’m new to the OpenSUSE space and tried to do a bit of digging on how to resolve my issue but was not able to find anything.
I have a Dell laptop that I have connected via HDMI to my 27 inch external monitor and am experiencing the following issues:
- Plank is unable to be used on the external monitor for that resolution. i.e. the dock sits not on the bottom or top, it sits in the middle of the screen.
- Can’t change the primary screen. I would rather have the primary screen be the laptop and do all the extras on the monitor but when I switch it, none of the panels transfer over.
- It is showing up as "DP-1 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 " in xrandr even though it is connected via the HDMI port. Not sure if this is normal?
- The mouse cursor is massive on the external and normal on the laptop.

Not sure if my XANDR setup is wrong or I need to update some drivers. Let me know if there is anything you’d suggest me trying.
