            Bug ID: 15693
           Summary: Multiple Monitors Issue. Some displays "stuck"
                    together
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-settings
           Version: 4.13.5
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Display Settings
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: supraguy at yandex.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

Just was testing out XFCE 4.12 on xfdesktop 4.13.3, xfsettingsd 4.13.5 on a
Fedora 29 install. I have a Dell M4700 laptop with the Intel/Nvidia k1000m dual
gpu. I can get all 4 monitors working under Nouveau (just like in Gnome) but
the one odd thing I have found is that in the Display settings, monitors 1 and
2 will only be arranged around each other, and monitor 3 and 4 will be arranged
around each other but I can't arrange those two groups in each other. For
example, I can move monitor 2 all around monitor 1 so it's on the top, or the
left/right side, but I can't move monitor 2 to be on say the right side of
monitor 4. I can't move it over to monitor 4 because it seems it's "stuck" to
monitor 1 and won't let go like it's anchored to monitor 1. Same behavior
happens to monitor 3-4. Am I just missing a setting somewhere? I'm going to
guess that this has something to do with the drivers as my laptop and VGA
monitor are 1 and 2, and monitor 3-4 are two DVI monitors running off the
Nvidia card and maybe they don't mix well. Worded another way, my monitors can
be arranged 1-2-3-4 or 2-1-4-3 or, but I can't arrange them 1-3-2-4 or 1-4-2-3,
etc.

Does this make sense? I can describe it better if it would be helpful. TIA
