I always used my external monitor above the laptop screen and this command did the trick:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --above LVDS1Now I'd like to move my external monitor to the right, but this command fails:
$ xrandr --verbose --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1
crtc 1: disable
screen 0: 2390x768 631x203 mm 96.09dpi
crtc 0: 1024x768 60.00 +1366+0 "VGA1"
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
crtc 0: disable
crtc 1: disable
crtc 2: disable

crtc 0: revert
crtc 1: revert
crtc 2: revert--above and --below work, --right-of and --left-of don't. Any idea why?
This is my xrandr --verbose
