No matter what I enter, displaypacer puts the menu bar on Contextual screen id: 4 (at origin -2560,0), even if I copy/paste the recommended command at the end of displaypacer list:

Try using the contextual ids instead of the persistent ids in the command like shown below. It's best to not try to use displayplacer to create new layouts. macOS has many restrictions on what screen config combos are allowed. Instead, use the system preferences to arrange the layout to what you need and run displayplacer list to get the command that represents the current layout. Nonetheless, the in the command you shared, the two mirrored screens should have the "white bar" in the system prefs which indicates they are the main screen.

displayplacer "id:5+2 res:2560x1600 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:off origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:4 res:2560x1440 hz:60 color_depth:8 scaling:off origin:(-2560,0) degree:0"

Are you also seeing a segmentation fault error when running this like the issue title suggests?

jthphoto commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the reply. Copying the command you suggested still moves the menu bar to the id:4 screen.

And sorry for the misleading title ... I encountered that trying to troubleshoot this problem and was initially going to report that, but decided to report the underlying issue instead (and forgot to change the title).

jakehilborn commented 1 year ago

@jthphoto Try this: Use the system settings to move the white bar to the correct screen. Now that you have your screen arrangement as desired, run displayplacer list. That output command should be correct and capable of moving the white bar to the correct screen. If it still doesn't work, edit the command to replace the persistent ids with the contextual ids.

jthphoto commented 1 year ago

Thanks. Still doesn't work, even with the contextual IDs.

Update: For a separate issue I had to restart my computer a couple times today. After that, this started working normally again. Not sure if it's related but either way thanks so much for your help.
