Hi,

thanks for helping me.

Can it be that MATE 1.24.1 desktop with gdm is already 3 years old,
and became slowly worse.

Since some month I have to enter my password at login twice,

now the additional monitor isn’t recognised any more,

even during starting it is recognised, but after the second login it is 
not recognised anymore.

Could it be that MATE 1.24.1 became always worse through updating gdm 
because now MATE 1.26 (already in Trisquel 11 used) und MATE 1.27 is 
available, and after updating to a new version the support for the older 
version is not so good any more?

16.04.2023	MATE 1.27
2021-08-10 09:00   MATE 1.26 released
2020-02-10 09:00   MATE 1.24 released

Kind regards

Gottfried
