The following command works as expected
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 2560x1600 --output DP-2 --mode 3840x1600 --rate 59.99 --right-of eDP-1
However, if I try to position monitors vertically, the lower monitor will show a black screen.
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode 2560x1600 --output DP-2 --mode 3840x1600 --rate 59.99 --above eDP-1
It does not matter whether my laptop monitor or the external monitor is the lower monitor, whichever monitor is above will show regular contents, and whichever monitor is below will show a black screen. I can see the mouse cursor and move it around on the black screen.
If I call i3lock, I can see the lower screen contents briefly before/after the screen is locked/unlocked, and I can see a blurred version while the screen is locked.
