Sharing script to set dual monitors position
xrandr is a utility to set resolution and layout of multiple monitors.

Let me explain each arguments.
--output : port of graphic card, 'DVI-I-2' in here
--mode : what resolution you want to use, '1920x1080' in here
Please see that '--primary' is not used to 'DVI-I-2', it means that 'DVI-I-3' is primary monitor.
--output : DVI-I-3 is primary monitor as '--primary' is given
--mode : Resolution, 1920x1080
--pos : 0x0
