I have to say that there's a certain level of irony in avoiding using a graphical tool for configuring your graphical user interface... I'm not sure if this file works with every type of desktop: ~/.config/monitors.xml For system things, like GDM (the logon screen for Gnome), it goes into *that* thing's homespace, rather than /home/username: i.e. /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml KDM may do something similiar (it'll have a different path). The file begins like this, and may have multiple sections, if you've switched monitors around: <monitors version="1"> <configuration> <clone>no</clone> ...[snip]... If each monitor clones each other, it has "yes" in there. Otherwise, "no" cloning spreads the picture across the monitors. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
