Displays are overlapping

Hi,
Im on a fresh install and want to configure my display setup. I have a laptop with a 1920 x 1080 Display and 2 additional 4K displays.
All displays are recognized by the OS.
When I go to System Settings → Display I see that all 3 Displays are stacked on top of each other and the top left corner being on the same spot for every display. That means my 2 4K displays show exactly the same and my 1920 x 1080 Laptop screen shows the top right quarter of the other displays.

I want to set up the configuration so that my laptop screen ist left, then my 1st 4K screen and then the second 4K screen. When I try to move the screens in the config menu they don’t move. How is this supposed to work?
Can I change that using cli somehow?

I already increased the minimum video ram but that did not seem to be the issue.

thanks in advance

You should be able to move them out of each other with your cursor. If that doesn’t work, I don’t know what’s wrong.

You can try to install arandr (sudo qubes-dom0-update arandr) and use that, it’s a GUI tool that will let you arrange displays as well (though the changes will not stick after a reboot. For that you may want to arrange them with arandr and then open the Display settings in your screenshot and apply again).

As for CLI changes, you can use the xrandr command for that, though its syntax is not the easiest.

Thanks, that did work. I will open an issue about that.
