Hi Yuriy,
I have a similar setup on my ThinkPad, but I use three monitors.
What I do first, is disable all outputs (I had other kind of problems
before):
xrandr --output $left --off
xrandr --output $right --off
xrandr --output $primary --off
xrandr --output $primary --auto
xrandr --output $right --auto --left-of $primary
xrandr --output $left --auto --left-of $right
You press mod+shift+{w,e,r} to shift a window to another screen, don't you?
I copied and adapted this key bindings from the default config for a
different keyboard layout:
-- mod-{i,a,e} %! Switch to physical/Xinerama screens 1, 2, or 3
-- mod-shift-{i,a,e} %! Move client to screen 1, 2, or 3
[ (mod ++ key, screenWorkspace sc >>= flip whenJust (windows . f))
| (key, sc) <- zip ["i", "a", "e"] [2, 0, 1] -- [0..] is weired!
-- now middle finger (a) is primary (laptop) monitor,
-- pointer finger (e) is second (external) monitor
, (f, mod) <- [(W.view, "M-"), (W.shift, "M-S-")]
]
My xrandr -q output looks similar to your's:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 5520 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
