One Skin with Dual Monitors (Skin working on just one monitor)

If you are using dual monitors and wish to use the DISPLAX Skin on only one monitor, you need to execute additional steps in Ubuntu to associate the DISPLAX Skin with the monitor where you want touch events active. Perform the following steps after concluding the configuration of the DISPLAX Skin settings.

1. Open a Terminal, and run the command  “xinput –list”

This command will show you all connected devices. Take note of the DISPLAX Skin ID.

2. Run the command “xrandr”

This command will show the monitors connected to your computer.

3. Run the command “xinput map-to-output ID MONITOR”, to map the touchscreen to the monitor connected via HDMI.

Example: “xinput map-to-output 11 HDMI-1” where the ID = 11 (from step 1) and MONITOR = HDMI-1 (from step 2).

4. Finally, run this command every time the computer restarts, as Ubuntu may lose this configuration after rebooting. You can also set this command to run at the startup of Ubuntu.
