I had that problem. (I use a laptop with a docking station, I like my second screen above the built in one.) I solved it by dropping a xrandr script in my KDE Autostart dir. If you like, you can wrap it a test to see which monitors are detected, and set things from there. > I tried out nouveau recently as I was experiencing "tearing" of the > portions of the screen when scrolling firefox with a window > partially on top of firefox and was hoping it was the driver. > Unfortunately nouveau has the same problem. I'm still using the proprietary driver, because nouveau doesn't have the 3d support on my chipset needed for blender yet. Nouveau does deal much better with things when I boot with only one screen connected (default font size issues on the desktop) and in general seems to play nicer with the desktop. -- Dave ----- Nobody believed that I could build a space station here.
