The issue I'm experiencing is extending my desktop, just isn't fully working with strange issues.
This is what I'm dealing with:
sudo lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106M [GeForce GT 550M] (rev a1)
This is not the first time I had issues with Optimus in Linux (not by a long shot) but recently I've bought another screen and I wish to extend it to that one instead. Before I extended my inteal display with a secondary one via mDP which worked.
Monitor left is coected to the mDP port that is controlled by the intel card. Monitor right is coected to the HDMI port that is controlled by the nVidia card.
I have a default xorg.conf from the arch wiki (only setup that worked for me):
Section "Module"
Load "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection
I currently have nvidia driver 364.19-2 installed.
The xrandr output (stripped from excessive resolution output)

If in the KDE control panel I have monitor mDP on the left side and Monitor HDMI on the right it seems to work, only my mouse is stuck on the right side of the screen and I caot move it to the left screen.
If in the KDE control panel I have monitor mDP on the right, and HDMI on the left, I can move my mouse to the right but what happens is that monitor HDMI scrolls horizontally to the mDP output so I have a cloned output. If I move left with my mouse, the left side of the desktop scrolls back. I believe the output of xrandr explains this behavior.
I've been struggling with this issue for a couple of weeks now, I've searched but couldn't really find anything similar to this issue (mainly because I just caot summarize this weird behavior) But here's the thing, I've wrecked my xorg.conf so many times, and in a few cases a re-installation occurred and I really want to avoid it this time around.
I'm not a Linux expert, I just know my way around it but I never really could understand Xorg in its entirety, hopefully Wayland would prove more successful
