xmonad monitor resolution
Hi, I have replaced old 1680x1050 monitor with the new one which works at 1920x1080 resolution. I am running everything on arch so latest xorg, xmonad and xmonad-contrib available in repos. Not using xorg.conf at all. Xorg properly detects resolution so xmobar and feh use whole monitor area to show bar and wallpaper. Xrandr also shows proper resolution. So it all works well until I open any window, or several of them: they tile like there is still 1680x1050 monitor; top left coordinate of the tiling area starts right below xmobar (it is at the right position) but there is unused gap on the right and bottom (exact difference between old/new monitor resolution). It is like xmonad remembered old resolution somewhere and sticks with it no matter what I try. I also tried i3 and it detects/uses whole screen area properly. I have also recompiled xmonad.hs but nothing changed. Help? Thanks.

Could you try deleting ~/.xmonad/xmonad.state (and possibly restarting xmonad), and see if that helps?

I had the exact same issue on my laptop two weeks ago. I thought it was
because i had broken xorg (fixed now). But the serial state file would make
sense since i sync my ~/.xmonad/ folder between work comp (1680x1050) and
personal laptop (1920x1080). Need to get back into my laptop and deleting
the state file and see what happens.
will report back...
thanks
