I have other problems that I assume are related but may not be the same
bug, so I did not report them here; for the record (in case it helps),
they include:

* OBS will not repaint its preview window _at all_ and sometimes hangs
UNLESS I move it to my leftmost display (DP-2-1) _and resize it_.  After
doing this, it is reliable and works normally on ANY display.  If I
don't do this, it doesn't repaint at all on any display.  The UI works
fine, but the video overlay (via whatever method it uses) for the
preview window just shows a gray box that sometimes takes on corruption.

* Electron apps run fine on DP-2-1 and DP-2-8, but if I move them to
eDP-1 (located at the far right, the only unscaled panel running
3840x2160) they are _extremely_ slow to draw.  Typing in the window, the
characters take up to several seconds to show up on screen, and clicks
take seconds to register.  This is visible in Slack, Discord, Keybase,
and Element.  Disabling GPU acceleration (either via the app preference
in Slack, or the Electron option --disable-gpu for others) causes them
to run normally, with no lag.

* OpenGL applications _in general_ run terribly on eDP-1; with
vblank_mode=0, maximized glxgears runs over 400 fps on DP-2-1 and
DP-2-8, but under 100 on eDP-1.  I have seen it run as few as ~15 FPS on
eDP-1 but am not seeing that currently; that may be related to other
factors?

* Video playback is noticeably jerky sometimes, appearing to skip or
jitter frames.  I have not noticed whether it matters which display I am
using when this happens.  Sometimes I don't notice it, sometimes it
seems pretty bad.  This is visible using mplayer or watching YouTube in
Firefox.  This is a subjective point, I cannot _measure_ the frame drops
(or at least, I don't know how).
