As I workaround you could create a script that you can run from a single click. My major issue I have is slightly different (see Bug #613650) and I use a variant of such a script at gdm startup.
#!/bin/sh #xdisplaycheck.sh xrandr -q | grep VGA-0 | grep " connected " # 0 is returned on success if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of DVI-0 fi You might also want to have a look at http://it- tactics.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-1004-with-docking-station.html where I have written about my problem(s) with the external monitor. -- secondary monitor is not correctly initialized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577959 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
