Ya, apologies I was not specific enough in my situation. I have two monitors that are of unequal size and they seem to work fine after I use xrandr. My question is that I'm having issues figuring out how screens work in conjunction with dual monitors. If I configure two screens then in each group there will be two screens? Do I have control on the size and configurations for each screen as it moves?
I have a main screen A and a minor screen B in portrait mode. Lets say that I have three groups. If I configure two screens then how do I control them?
