Is this a Compiz thing?

THank lakedude; i'm running linux Mint 14 Nadia,

As you see in this link with instructions it shows the same as my monitor control windows except it shows the name of monitor resolution and so on my doesn't show nothing except the frozen switch boxes for resolution,Refresh rate,Rotation, and detect monitor but when i click on any of these SW i get nothing.

Word on the net is to install "arandr".

That or in the terminal:

xrandr -o right
xrandr -o normal
xrandr -o left
xrandr -o invert


I really don't know since I don't have a pivot screen...

OK guys, after so much head scratching i found out the problem was not the OPS but the monitor itself changed the connection to other monitor and it recognizes it right away, then i unplugged the monitor that i was using from the power and from the VGA cable turned on the PC and it also recognized it with the rotation scream resolutions and everything is OK. anyway some times a simple thing turns out to be a big thing with no solution in sight,i made so many linux install for nothing,anyway i apreciate your help.

Hi guys it's me again,i have same problem again i type Xrandr and get the same as in the pic that i posted before,although the screen did not change and stayed where i wanted it, but can't control nothing as before,i had it but something is changing it,i guess if it changes i have to do what i did before change monitors and go back,it's kind of weird i don't know if it's the monitor or the linux software.

If you are connecting via DVI, it sounds like it is an EDID issue with your monitor (lots of monitors have the wrong EDID information either due to oversight from the manufacturer or the manufacturer cutting corners to cut costs).

Thanks Fallen;i was able to solve the problem by getting an atx power supply that i had hanging around connected a cable to the 12v output yellow+black and pluged in the 12v monitor with a power strip sw,

what was causing the monitor to loose the monitor control settings was that i've splited the DVD/cd's cable output by chanting the cable and connected it to the monitor,but i guess when the pc turned on it would turn on the mother board first I think! then the dvd/cd,since the monitor has to be on before the mother board, it would loose the monitor controls so it would not detected the monitor even thought the monitor was working write
