Hi,
I have 2 screens set up side by side on the kde system settings-monitors.
The problem is that on a reboot the configuration is lost and I have to set them
up again using the kde systems settings.
Do I need to do anything else so that the configuration just happens on reboot?
thanks for your time
Paul

Yes, you need to find out the correct xrandr command to set up your monitors.
Find out[1] what command that is and put it in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup

For example, these are the lines I have:
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1366x768
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1360x768

This is the entry I made but it didn't work, I never got the sign in screen.
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x1024+0+0
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1280x1024+1280+0
Any other ideas?

So VGA-1 is your primary screen?
What happens if you run the second command in the termnal?
Also you could try running xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of
VGA-1 (if DVI-1 is the port and the monitor is placed on the right of VGA-1)

Thanks Isak, I think this will work but I haven't time to test it now, I'll try
over the weekend.
Thank again
