[Plasma] Get XRandR arguments

Hello, I'm usually an i3 user on a 1440p hidpi laptop.

I recently got a 1080p 24in monitor, and have been trying to get it to work. I've tried several XRandR combinations as shown on the wiki's "HiDPI" page, multimonitor section. but on i3, I get the "mouse cursor is blocked off from half the second monitor" issue noted in the wiki page.

Somehow, this doesn't happen in KDE/Plasma 5. Is there a way to see what XRandR output that the DE picked for me whenever I connect my monitor so that I can use it with i3? I tried looking in /var/log but there were no KDE logs in there, and I have no idea where the logs might reside or if they even contain the information I need.

Thanks in advance!

Assuming your plasma is using it there's kscreen-console which might list what you need.
