Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1097

Issue Description
I have 4 monitors arranged in a square. Monitor (1) is in the top left, (2) is top right, (3) is lower right, and (4) is lower left.
Linux (Server) is on Screens 2 and 3, and Windows 10 (client) is on Screens 1 and 4. I cannot move from screen 3 to screen 4.

To Reproduce
My issue is that I have no problem going from any screens to others, EXCEPT from screen 3 (Linux lower-right) to screen 4. I can go fine the other way (screen 4 to screen 3). I don't see any log messages, the cursor simply stops at the screen edge and will not cross over, unless I go up to the top 2 monitors and cross from screen 2 to screen 1 and then back down to screen 4.

Expected behavior
That like all the other screens, I would be able go from screen 3 to screen 4 instead of the mouse just stopping at the screen edge.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Server (Barrier 2.3.3):

Linux (Manjaro - linux 5.10.18-1, I3WM, Nvidia)

Client (Barrier 2.3.3):

Windows 10 20H2

Thanks for assistance!

I wanted to circle back for anyone else having this issue. For me the issue was because Linux had identified a 'Primary' monitor. As soon as I ran xrandr with the "--no-primary' option, the problem went away and I was able to move the mouse across all screen boundaries. I am closing, because I am guessing this is not so much a bug, as a issue with how the display drivers handle a primary screen edge.
Thanks
