I've read this question, it's not helping.

I have two monitors, a 1920x1200 (DP-1), and a 1920x1080 (eDP-1) below and a bit to the side of the previous one.

xrandr's man page and some online reading made me believe that I could offset the bottom monitor with the option --pos.

This however:

xrandr --output DP-1 --above eDP-1 --auto --primary --pos 0x0 --output eDP-1 --pos 940x1200

does not seem to add the x-offset to eDP-1.

Adding the --verbose flag confirms this, I get:

crtc 0:    1920x1200  59.95 +0+0 "DP-1"
crtc 1:    1920x1080  59.93 +0+1200 "eDP-1"

x-offset is 0.

It seems that the --above, --below, --right-of, and --left-of options are not compatible with --pos.

Apparently, --pos has lower precedence and the other ones take over (a warning would have been nice).

Modifying my command and removing the --above portion works:

$ xrandr  --output DP-1 --auto --primary --pos 0x0 --output eDP-1 --pos 940x1200  --verbose
screen 0: 2860x2280 755x602 mm  96.20dpi
crtc 0:    1920x1200  59.95 +0+0 "DP-1"
crtc 1:    1920x1080  59.93 +940+1200 "eDP-1"
