FAQ (Fervently Anticpiated Quandaries)

What is this?

It's intended to be the Wayland equivalent of an xrandr GUI, like ARandR.

Help, I get errors and/or crashes!

Make sure your wlroots and sway are up-to-date. Particularly, you need a git revision of wlroots from this commit (or later) or your compositor may crash when adding/removing displays. Alternatively, you can try to disable the "Show Screen Contents" option.

I'm using Sway, why aren't my display settings saved when I log out?

Sway, like i3, doesn't save any settings unless you put them in the config file. See man sway-output. If you want to have multiple configurations depending on the monitors connected, you'll need to use an external program like kanshi.
