Auto scaling Issue

[klavoie1]

Hello everyone,

I have a 4k monitor and a 2k monitor that I use. I set the scaling to auto for each but when I do that I can no longer move to the other window with the mouse. Is there a fix for this or is there something that I am doing wrong? Here is what my monitor settings looks like in the hyprland.conf file.

monitor = DP-2, 3840x2160@60, 0x0, auto
monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 3840x0, auto

try these....

monitor = DP-2, 3840x2160@60, 0x0, 2
monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 3840x0, 1

or to align the monitors

monitor = DP-2, 3840x2160@60, 0x0, 2
monitor = DP-1, 2560x1440@144, 3840x720, 1

then Enable Mouse Cross-Monitor Support

monitor_layout = gapless

then

hyprctl reload

do let us know if these helped.

Where would the monitor_layout be placed within? Is that in the hyprland.conf file or elsewhere. So far it locks me to one window. If I super key and press 1 or 2 I can move between the screens but not mouse over to the other.

monitors.conf

it is better to place all user preferences in the userprefs.conf as this automatically overrides all the other configs. If somethings goes seriously wrong, one has a better chance to recover from the terminal by just correcting this file or emptying it. this way one is left with the machine in a default state.

When I place the monitor_layout variable into the userpref.conf file it gives an error of "config option <monitor_layout> does not exist". Is there a place I am supposed to predefine it?

Which guide did you got that? that config does not exist at all. Better to check wiki.hyprland.org
