Screen bars swapped until after a restart Qtile

See original GitHub issue

When I start up Qtile the screen bars are switched. If I restart Qtile using mod shift R then the bars will go be correct.

Using qtile 0.19.0-1 on Arch Linux.

It was working before I upgraded.

Here is my .config. I don’t think I am doing anything fancy.

I have made sure that my monitors are setup properly per the arch wiki page for multihead.

I am currently using xrandr in the autostart.sh file. xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --primary --mode 2560x1440 --pos 2560x0 --rotate normal --output DP-0 --mode 2560x1440 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DP-1 --off &

I have tried using nvidia-settings as well in my autostart.sh file. nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DPY-2: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}, DPY-1: nvidia-auto-select +2560+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"

I have also tried adding it in my xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf file.

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "HDMI-0"
        Option          "Primary" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DP-0"
        Option          "LeftOf" "HDMI-0"
EndSection

None of these seem to make a difference.

Ah. If you’re on Wayland then my fix has nothing to do with your issue.

Hmm. Maybe there’s something else wrong. Will do some more digging.

Think I’ve narrowed down the issue. Might take a but more time to fix this properly rather than a quick patch.
