--- Comment #42 from Sebastian Kügler <se...@kde.org> ---
Let me try to clear it up then. :) Currently, we don't change the resolution if
the user hasn't configured this exact combination of screens previously. That
means that if you log into a fresh session, we don't do anything on login wrt
screen setup. We expect the system to be set up.

With the current state, we now detect if the current resolution goes away, and
we react to that by modesetting the new preferred resolution. So if you log in
to a fresh vm, the login manager (or X startup) has to take care of that, to
avoid unnecessary mode changes.

The move from projector problem, I'm not sure I understand. We only
save/restore a config for a given combination of outputs connected, the edid or
model + serial of all connected outputs are hashed, and used as key to find the
right config. We do not apply configs to unknown hardware. The initial setup
for a given projector would be the same, as that is done using heuristics, and
after once changed from the ui, the config is remembered only for that combo of
outputs.

I like the idea of making the preferred mode more prominent, or logical in the
UI, I'll give that some more consideration. Currently working on bits and
pieces for an improved KCM, so that kind of input is well-timed. :)
