SUMMARY
Hey there,

I'm trying to split a display I use in two virtual ones. xrandr has a command for that (tutorial can be found here: https://chipsenkbeil.com/notes/linux-virtual-monitors-with-xrandr/ or https://askubuntu.com/questions/150066/split-monitor-in-two/998435#998435

But using these changes doesn't affect my workspace at all.
I hope I selected the correct package

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use xrandr to split your display in two
2. observe
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
the one display is still one

EXPECTED RESULT
the display should be seperated in two

This isn't something KScreen will be able to support, sorry.
