Set Display Arrangement on boot

I’m using three monitors and I have my display arrangement set up correctly but when I reboot, the config doesn’t apply until I log in. I seem to remember a command to cp the config file somewhere but I’m unable to find that page with the link again. Does anyone happen to know?

you can disable all screens except the one you wanna log into and click the button I indicated above then re-enable all your screens on login you should be on the screen that was enabled at the time

yeah it is a bit counterintuitive I think it is a sort of workaround they found to make this work and it hasn't been touched so far

Now if only once logged in, I could get the same functionality for the login screen to only show on one 😅
