I m currently trying to configure my 3 monitors on my i3wm set-up but for some reasons, it doesn't work.

Here's my config:

  • OS: Fedora Linux 35 (Thirty Five) x86_64
  • Kernel: 5.16.18-200.fc35.x86_64
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
  • NVIDIA Driver Version: 510.60.02

Here's the command I'm using :

xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output DP-1 --pos 1080x840 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate normal --output HDMI-1 --pos 3000x840 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate normal

Here's what xrandr command result

    $ xrandr

And here's the actual positions of my monitors:

Monitors

EDIT: Adding more details about what is not working and what I ve already tried.

When I m logging in, here s the configuration I get : default display

Then I run this command

xrandr --output DP-3 --rotate left

and I get this (which is almost perfect) : almostPerfect

So the last thing to do is to put DP-3 at the right of DP-1. And this is where everything get messed up.

Either it works, the disposition is good, I can move the cursor from the left(DP-3) to the right (HDMI-1) going through the middle (DP-1) but when I opening a window on DP-1 it shows up on HDMI-1...

Either it doesn't work and all windows are in the wrong place, starting in the middle of the screen, with black space... chaotic. I will add a picture tonight..

I just had to install the Nvidia drivers... Working perfectly now.

Here's my config:

  • OS: Fedora Linux 35 (Thirty Five) x86_64
  • Kernel: 5.16.18-200.fc35.x86_64
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
