Issue Whenever I have an external monitor connected to my Dell Latitude XT in an extended display configuration, my external display shows on half of the monitor, and my laptop display shows on both my laptop, and my monitor. My corsur selects about 3 to six inches to the left of where it is displayed. When my displayes are mirrored, or my laptop display turned off via configuration, everything works as expected.

Steps to reproduce Use problmatic configuration explained above.

Expected behaviour No issues

Other information Has issues on both of my latitude xt's. Display cable/port makes no difference. Photos will be atached later. Edit: Doesen't have issues in cinnamon fallback.

Hi. Just got an email from this thread. I am currently not using Mint on the device in question anymore. However, a can reinstall and test.
