Arch Linux

Description:

Using PRIME technology cause very odd and strange behaviour of external monitors. The are two different problems:

1) If I enable two external monitors and try to rotate one of them, this monitor stuck with some odd image (parts of other screen);
2) If I enable two external monitors, and switch their places (for exmample DP-1 right of DP-2 insted of DP-1 left of DP-2), both monitors stuck with some very-very odd image, like the images intersecting in some odd way.

After that, if I try to do something with my monitor setup, at least one monitor disables and I got a blank screen. Xrandr says that everything is ok. Sometimes the whole system stuck, and can event switch from X to tty.

If using only one card (disabling OPTIMUS in BIOS and enable only one card) everything working fine. But Intel card is wired only to VGA and internal monitor, so I can't check external monitor support with Intel.
