Bug Description

I have one monitor only. However, x11 recognises two screens, and places one of them to the right of my real screen.
This causes several issues: I can "lose" my mouse pointer at the right hand side of my real screen. Some apps start on the non-existent screen, and it is hard or impossible (in case of some steam games) to pull them out to my real screen.
Gnome settings shows the two screens, my real screen first and the non-existent one second, but does not let me fiddle with the settings of the second one. It seems that xrandr sees this screen too:

~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 7680 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 600mm x 340mm
   3840x2160 60.00*+ 30.00
   2560x1440 59.95
   1920x1080 60.00 59.94
   1600x900 60.00

   1280x720 60.00 59.94
   1152x864 59.96
   1024x768 60.00
   800x600 60.32
   720x480 59.94
   640x480 59.94 59.93
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
None-1-1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
   3840x2160 60.00 +

But trying to remove "None-1-1" yields an error:

~$ xrandr --output None-1-1 --off
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RRSetScreenSize)
  Serial number of failed request: 45
  Current serial number in output stream: 47

Here is the content of /sys/class/drm, but I don't know what to make of it.

card0 card1 card1-DP-2 card1-HDMI-A-2 version
card0-Unknown-1 card1-DP-1 card1-HDMI-A-1 renderD128

I use an right-to-left environment, and maybe this is related.
