Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2011-12-19 17:33:27 UTC
Can you post the contents of your ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc file ?

essentially, it will contain some xrandr calls that are *supposed* to configure things.

In particular, the StartupCommands key...

[Display]
ApplyOnStartup=true
StartupCommands=xrandr ...

Comment 3 Andreas Bierfert 2011-12-19 18:11:49 UTC
Here you go:

[Display]
ApplyOnStartup=true
StartupCommands=xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --pos 1280x0 --mode 1680x1050 --refresh 59.9543\nxrandr --output DVI-I-2 --pos 0x0 --mode 1024x1280 --rotate left --refresh 60.0197\nxrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary

[Screen_0]
OutputsUnified=false
UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
UnifiedRotation=1

[Screen_0_Output_DVI-I-1]
Active=true
Rect=1280,0,1680,1050
RefreshRate=59.9542503356934
Rotation=1

[Screen_0_Output_DVI-I-2]
Active=true
Rect=0,0,1280,1024
RefreshRate=60.0197410583496
