Your monitor names are probably a little bit different.
Typing "xrandr" with no option will allow you to list the monitors
actually seen by X. For example I have eDP1, VGA1 and HDMI1 as
possible names for my current configuration :

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1366 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
   1366x768      60.03*+  40.01  
   1360x768      59.80    59.96  
VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
