Xubuntu 20.04 asus x501u

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "glx" --create

I accidentally ran this command on my asus x501u . How can I return to the previous set-up?

What the command did was set the channel of Xfwm4 property of /general/vblank_mode to glx. The default setting for that is auto. To set it back run the following command:

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -s auto

If you just run xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode it will show you what the setting is.

Hope this helps!
