Created attachment 645998 [details] krandrcc Description of problem: I have a laptop and external monitor. My desired configuration is (as in the screenshot): - laptop display on the right - vga on the left When I set this configuration and press 'Save as Default' the attached configuration is saved. However after the log out/in the setting is not the same as I wish - displays overlap and: LVDS1 is set Absolute 480x0 VGA1 is set Absolute 0x0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-workspace-4.9.3-1.fc18 (but fc17 is affected too) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set configuration as described above 2. logout then login 3. Actual results: configuration is different Expected results: configuration is preserved Additional info: Might be a duplicate of bug 699024, but I tried both workarounds (\nxrandr -> \n/ and specifying --left-of) and it didn't help.

It works (the configuration is loaded correctly and as I wish) when the command is StartupCommands=xrandr --output LVDS1 --pos 480x0 --mode 1440x900 --refresh 59.9755 --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 --pos 0x0 --mode 1920x1080 --refresh 60 --noprimary Meaning neither '\n' nor '\nxrandr' in it but with '--left-of LVDS1' parameter. Just adding the parameter or changing '\nxrandr' doesn't help.
This annoying bug is reported for quite a while but the fix is hopefully coming soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 766545 ***
