KDE losing multiple monitors configuration after boot

English Applications

Hi,

I’m using two monitors here, my laptop and a Samsung LCD connected w/ VGA cable.
I do all configuration through “Display and Monitor”, setting up screen size of each one, position and primary output.
But every time I boot my computer, I have to configure all again because KDE loses previous configuration and it comes back in “clone” mode.

Here some info about my system:

OpenSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
KDE: 4.7.2 (4.7.2) “release 5”

Display Info
Vendor: Intel Corporation
Model: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
2D driver: intel
3D driver: Unknown classic (7.11)

Thanks!

You should be able to create a script that is run at boot time, containing xrandr instructions that set the two monitors; e.g. here’s the contents of the script that I use on my laptop with a monitor attached too, a bit like your setup:

#!/bin/sh
#xrandr --output LVDS --auto --pos 0x0 --output VGA-0 --auto --pos -1920x0

I run the script using the KDE Autostart
