Here's the output from my xrandr:

[marcos ~/.i3]$ xrandr

   720x480        59.9  
   640x480        59.9     59.9

With this configuration I can move between windows on both displays with focus left/right. However, I would like to change the settings to have the VGA-0 display sit at the bottom of the virtual space and not the top. After I issue a:

[marcos ~/.i3]$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --pos 1920x30

The outputs are exactly like I want them, but now I can't switch windows with focus left/right.

Any workaround or explanation?
