Question / Help Can't Capture Fullscreen Gameplay only Windowed Mode [Ubuntu 18.04]

Hi,

I recently moved my workstation PC down to my TV after my gaming rig died. Normally the workstation is set up to run on 3x4K monitors and capture from the middle monitor. However, now since moving the PC to the TV and being on a single display, OBS no longer captures the game video unless the game is set to Windowed mode or if I have the display configuration window open. The odd thing is despite not capturing the video, OBS captures the mouse pointer where the game uses the mouse to select menu items. However nothing that happens on the screen is captured outside the mouse moving around.

Is this an X.config file issue or would uninstalling and reinstalling OBS fix it or is there a setting I can change in OBS so that OBS stops expecting there to be 3 or 4 screens?

Thanks
