Correct :-)

Yes, AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (ASUS).

DisplayPort-0 and DisplayPort-1, which are the two monitors KScreen is confused
about, are actually different models. DisplayPort-0 is a Dell U2717D and
DisplayPort-1 is a Dell U2711.

HDMI-A-0 is also a U2717D but KScreen is not confusing the two U2717D monitors.

FYI also: `kscreen-doctor` doesn't show it, but the "Display Configuration" kcm
"Identify" function shows the U2717Ds with unique serial numbers. The U2711
DOES NOT show a unique serial number, but I only have one of those monitors
anyway.

Therefore, as far as I can tell, there is no reason KScreen should be confused
about this setup.
