Xrandr showing two monitors as one big screen (xmonad)

turbochamp · 2021-11-27 21:03:29

My issue is I can't move windows to another monitor in XMonad. It just detects both monitors as one big screen and I can't figure out how to solve it. XMonad is compiled with xinerama. I have tried using nvidia-settings to save configuration as well, but same result.. And here is my xrandr command.

xrandr --output DP-2 --primary --mode 3840x2160 --right-of HDMI-0 --output HDMI-0 --mode 3840x2160

Here is the output of xrandr.

xrandr -q                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ✔  16s 

Any thoughts? Or am I just doing something wrong.

xrandr isn't xinerama, but the xrandr output is fine - nothing wrong with that.
idk anything about xmonad, but multihead config seems to be troublesome - according to google…

Did you see https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Frequen … esktops.29

Yeah I've been basing everything on that doc. What's weird is the mKeys. If I revert back to stock xmonad config file, it does work with (mod+shift+wer) but the order is backwards, e sends it to left monitor and w to the right. Not a big deal. But with my custom mKeys it just doesn't work. e will send it to the left monitor but can't send anything to the right.

For anyone who does know xmonad this is the config:

    -- mod-shift-{w,e,r}, Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
    --
    [ (mask ++ "M" ++ [key], screenWorkspace scr >>= flip whenJust (windows . action))
         | (key, scr)  <- zip "wer" [0..]
         , (action, mask) <- [ (W.view, "") , (W.shift, "S-")]
    ]

Your right output is listed as primary one - unless xmonad has a way to tag the outputs by label, I guess the primary one will end up being "1"

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --primary
