   virtual monitor problem

   I've been trying to set my 3 1920x1080 monitors up to look like a 1920-   
   plus a 3840-wide screen.   
      
   The recipe seems to be something like:   
      
   xrandr --setmonitor xyzzy 3840/1086x1080/302+1920+0 HDMI-0,HDMI-1-2   
      
   xrandr --fb 5761; xrandr --fb 5760      # see   
   https://chipsenkbeil.com/notes/linux-virtual-monitors-with-xrandr/   
      
   and this seems successful:   
      
   xrandr --listmonitors   
   Monitors: 2   
     0: xyzzy 3840/1086x1080/302+1920+0  HDMI-0 HDMI-1-2   
     1: +DP-1 1920/543x1080/302+0+0  DP-1   
      
      
   However, when I run either of LO Impress or OBS Studio, neither   
   recognizes the extended monitor. Each lists two monitors (rather than   
   three), but treats both as 1920 wide. So my presentation display is   
   scaled down. Not what I need.   
      
   Can anyone advise how to do this please?   
      
   Thanks.
