Hi all,
i have an issue with my old 4k Asus PQ321 Display.
As its one of the first 4k Screens it consists of two panels build into one screen. Each panel has a resolution of 1920x2160 therefore they have in sum a resolution of 3840*2160.
The monitor is connected to a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Ti via DisplayPort cable (Display Port is the only connector on the monitor).
Operating System is newest Manjaro Gnome using most recent drivers from Nvidia (495.46).
The screen always behaves like two screens. (e.g. if i maximize a window, it gets maximized to the half of the screen. Obviously i want the screen to behave as “one screen”.
I played around with NVIDIA TwinView in my xorg.conf but nothing works.

Thank you very much!
PS: I also posted the question on askubuntu (as i also experimented with Ubuntu), but didnt get an answer there.
Edit: Seems to be the same issue as described here: In Archlinux Forums Thread with ID 247064 (sorry dont have enough karma to post links)
