when I run xrandr on the same machine under ubuntu gnome desktop or i3 I get two different display lists - why?
Question
- I am running a system76 ubuntu laptop
- I am trying to get 2 external monitors to play nicely with this laptop
- When booting into the machine with no external monitors all is fine/ normal in all cases
- When booting into ubuntu gnome desktop the monitors all play fine, with the right max resolutions, etc
- When booting in with i3, I cannot yet get it to work correctly at the correct max resolution (this is an independent question I think)
- When I run
xrandrunder ubuntu gnome desktop, I get a listing of just 2 external displays labelledWAYLAND0andWAYLAND1(which is accurate) - When I run
xrandrunder i3, I get a long list of other display names (e-DP-1, DP-1-1, etc).
The question Given the above, why does xrandr behave differently under these 2 different environments?

Duh. ubuntu gnome desktop is using Wayland, not X11
