Another workaround: Make the necessary changes to the layout with ARandR, save layout as yadayada.sh (or whatever name you prefer), define yadayada.sh as a startup application (after making it executable). You will have messy screen layout until entering the password (with my layout, I have to do this without seeing anything unless I turn the TV on), but after that it should look exactly the way you want it to. At least that's what I got. I don't have a solution yet how to start the script before the login screen, but this is probably no rocket science either. I came across this workaround after I'd been facing that nasty issue with a GeForce card, and it persisted after I used an ATI instead (at first I'd thought it might be related to the NVidia driver in some way). By the way, I don't have xorg.conf and monitors.xml anymore. I didn't have monitors.xml with GeForce either, but I did have xorg.conf before. Doesn't matter to me now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311399 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 forgets Display Settings from monitors.xml / xorg.conf (Dual-Screen Setup) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1311399/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
