XFCE Startup xrandr not running

I am trying to use xrandr as a statup application in xfce, however, it doesn't seem to work.

Every other startup application works fine. I am using XFWM4 and Compton.

The command I'm attempting to run is:

xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --pos 1920x0 --output DVI-D-1 --auto --pos 0x840

This command works as expected when I run it from a terminal. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Re: XFCE Startup xrandr not running

How exactly are you trying to run it? Where did you put this command?

Have you tried placing it in .xinitrc?

I put the command in Settings Manager > Sessions and Startup > Applications Autostart, I'll take a look at my .xinitrc.

Edit: Using .xinitrc has no effect.

Re: XFCE Startup xrandr not running

How are you starting XFCE?

Are you using a display manager?
