I have 3 monitors, a 1280x1024 at 0x0, a 1080p panel, (which is my primary), at 1280x0, and a USB monitor at 3200x348. Whenever I start a game that runs fullscreen, it almost invariably starts on my left-most monitor. This can rectified in almost all games by going to a window, dragging the window to my center monitor, and then going fullscreen again, but this needs to be done EVERY time that EVERY game is started, so yeah, it gets a bit annoying.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this behavior, aside from the obvious solution of making the the 1080p my leftmost monitor?
ETA: I'm running KDE on a machine with Intel graphics.

So this is one big virtual screen. setting the central monitor as primary with xrandr will probably not work. You should be able to automate what you have been doing manually with wmctrl.

Are you sure this won't work? I'd try that first.

@Pse You apparently missed the word "probably" in my sentence. OP did provide little information on his setup and since he was capable of configuring 3 monitors, he should have come across/be aware of the primary option, still, I provided this hint. Only one way to find out. I doubt however, that every application, since not specified by OP, would respect that.

Sorry, I did read your previous post in a hurry.
I've had good results with recent games and a dual-monitor setup. I do remember it used to be a problem a couple of years ago. So maybe having the right settings in xrandr and your DE/WM is enough.

As for the primary, yes, I'm setting the center monitor as primary, via xrandr's --primary flag.

Did you try wmctrl as I suggested?
