arandr + evince: conflicting resolution between laptop screen & external projector
I use my netbook (32bit lubuntu 18.04.1) to give dual, indepdent external projector presentation: One external projector via the native VGA portion, and a second one via displaylink adapter (something like

except mine is usb2 only). I use arandr to set this up and it works, including moving windows from one external monitor to another. The resolution of the THREE outputs are as follow:
- netbook: 1024x576
- projector1: 1200x800
- projector2: 800x600
(this the best configuration I found with the lease-distortion/largest screen coverage), and the layout are such that
- projector1 is on the left of project2
netbook and projector1 starts from same upper left corner, like this:
However, when I switch to "presentation mode" in evince on projector1, evince's output stops at 576 and not 800 -- in other words evince goes full screen on the netbook, not projector1.
Q: What can I do to make evince's presentation mode to go fullscreen on projector1? I'd be happy to provide additional config info upon request.
THANKS!
