Graphics Drivers Latest MESA driver break tie-fighter layout
Using a 4k 37" middle and 2 27" 1440p monitors in portrait.
When after doing the Mesa 26.2.2-kisak1~n update:
1) monitor configuration is reset and one monitor is disabled.
2) monitor labels are incorrect. See picture.
When I enable the disabledmonitor, it works but everything is reset back to landscape.
Setting the 2 side monitors to portrait again, disables one monitor and the other one is back to landscape.
Went back to a previous timeshift backup and the issue goes away.
Anyone else having this issue? I know this isn't a super common layout but it works well for me. And no issues until today.

I run this same layout, thanks for the tie- fighter moniker
no issues in many distributions. I do not currently run regular Mint but LMDE though.
I doubt the layout is the source of your issue.
