Hi, my xrandr command is simple:

xrandr --output eDP1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 3440x360 --rotate
normal --output DP1 --mode 3440x1440 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DP2
--off --output HDMI1 --off --output HDMI2 --off --output VIRTUAL1 --off

In my case, with systemctl restart lightdm.service is sufficient.

With KDE, works well. Not freeze.
