Problems while config Display alignment

Problem: Its not able to me adjust alignment display's notebooks related to HDMI external, vertical position, HDMI above notebook.

Environment: Debian 12, xfce4, i3 (all updated & upgraded)

I have followed the issue present in https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=15572 this is not may case.

Actions done:

- using xfce4-display-settings command I tryed to adjust displays position unsuccessful, the change do not progress over views.
- I have modified the file ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml with x y coordinate modification, it not replay effects visual, in all cases the view keeps left to right (notebook-HDMI)!
- I only can reorder positions using alternative application arandr, but I cant do it persistent. This apps works OK . I still haven't created sh script for booting up, so I hope understand the basis of the problem with config environment of xfce.

I am using i3wm, is it possible i3 configuration affect xfce operation?

Thank to all you

Re: Problems while config Display alignment

Solved:

At the end of ~/.config/i3/config file I have added next line:

exec ~/.screenlayout/display.sh

This statement execute the script created by "arandr" app, according to my alignment required.

Thanks
