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 ...
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 Rotation=2
