I'm using Gnome-Shell 3.26 on Arch with 3 monitors (connected through a mini displayport to 3 HDMI hub). This hardware setup has worked fine with earlier versions of the software.
The problem I'm facing is Gnome-Shell just WON'T respect my monitors.xml, I can get it to generate a new monitors.xml just by modifying my display configuration via the gnome settings interface, but as soon as I restart gnome shell (alt-f2: r) the display configuration reset altogether.
This is my monitors.xml:
<monitors version="2">
<configuration>
<logicalmonitor>
<x>3840</x>
<y>0</y>
<scale>1</scale>
<monitor>
<monitorspec>
<connector>DP-1-2</connector>
<vendor>ACI</vendor>
<product>ASUS VS228</product>
<serial>C7LMQS146415</serial>
</monitorspec>
<mode>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<rate>60</rate>
</mode>
</monitor>
</logicalmonitor>
<logicalmonitor>
<x>1920</x>

</monitors>
This is the output of
xrandr -q | grep " connected"
eDP-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1-1-1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 476mm x 268mm
DP-1-1-2 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm
DP-1-2 connected 1920x1080+3840+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 476mm x 268mm
Why is my monitors.xml not being respected? Could something be overriding it?

Take a look at this, looks to me like it could be the same problem

Thanks! That does look like it might be the same issue.
