Quitting Braid causes dual monitors to switch to mirror mode

  • 772

I have 2 monitors in my desktop. The one has a smaller resolution than the other (don't know if it matters for this issue). From Display I have disabled mirroring, so the first monitor continues to the other.

Today I installed Braid. When I launch it, it goes fullscreen. When I quit the game, the setting have reverted to the mirroring of monitors (and with the smaller resolution), and I have to set them up each time.

Is there a solution for that?

The GPU is sapphire radeon hd 3870, haven't install any extra drivers for the GPU, 64bit CPU, using gnome-shell

    I don't have braid myself but have found this issue else where. What I can only suggest is two workarounds:

    1) run in windowed mode, as detailed in comments above, which sounds like it works.

    2) create a new launch script as detailed on the WINEHQ page linked above, to use xrandr after braid quits to return the correct resolution.
    /opt/braid/braid && xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768 && xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1440x900

    edit: changed suggested xrandr command to match OP output
