When I run xrandr
it shows both of my monitors as different displays under Screen 0
. How do I set one of them to Screen 1
? (Or is there a more elegant solution?)
I ask because I'm setting up xmonad on Debian, but xmobar only appears on one of them. Digging into the settings a bit, I see I can launch it twice, and just call a different screen id. Problem with that is: both monitors have the same screen id.
This is a fresh install of Debian 11 with Gnome
running on a laptop with a second monitor plugged in via HDMI
In my xmonad.hs I tried:
main = do
xmproc0 <- spawnPipe "xmobar -x 0 ~/.config/xmobar/xmobarrc"
xmproc1 <- spawnPipe "xmobar -x 1 ~/.config/xmobar/xmobarrc"
...
logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP
{
ppOutput = \x -> hPutStrLn xmproc0 x
>> hPutStrLn xmproc1 x
...
Although xmonad appears to work, xmobar itself only appears on my laptop and not the hdmi monitor though because there is NO screen 1, and I can't seem to find any setting for using an xrandr style display, instead of an X screen.

at startup I am also running this just to put the monitors in the right order
