[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1311399] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 forgets Display Settings from monitors.xml / xorg.conf (Dual-Screen Setup)
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1292398 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Another workaround: Make the necessary changes to the layout with ARandR, save layout as yadayada.sh (or whatever name you prefer), define yadayada.sh as a startup application (after making it executable). You will have messy screen layout until entering the password (with my layout, I have to do this without seeing anything unless I turn the TV on), but after that it should look exactly the way you want it to. At least that's what I got. I don't have a solution yet how to start the script before the login screen, but this is probably no rocket science either. I came across this workaround after I'd been facing that nasty issue with a GeForce card, and it persisted after I used an ATI instead (at first I'd thought it might be related to the NVidia driver in some way). By the way, I don't have xorg.conf and monitors.xml anymore. I didn't have monitors.xml with GeForce either, but I did have xorg.conf before.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1311399] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 forgets Display Settings from monitors.xml / xorg.conf (Dual-Screen Setup)
I'm affected by this bug as well. I have two identical monitors attached to a
GT610 DVI and VGA ports. Dual display works (configured thru xorg.conf). I'm
using nvidia 331.38 from nvidia-331-updates driver. Randomly, an unknown
process resets my monitor config (third line):
Xorg.0.log:
[ 3043.682] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Display (LG Electronics 22EA53 (DFP-0)) does
not support
[ 3043.682] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): NVIDIA 3D Vision stereo.
[ 3114.626] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode NULL
[ 3114.790] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select @1920x1080
+0+0 {ViewPortIn=1920x1080, ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0}
Apparently its related to this service 'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher':
May 16 11:03:05 x dbus[593]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' (using servicehelper)
May 16 11:03:05 x dbus[593]: [system] Successfully activated service
'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher'
A simple xrandr -q restores my settings but it's very annoying...

I think I have this bug, also. I have two displays attached to my notebook. a Dual display works .. but the config does not save after reboots. I have nvidia driver installed and Dual display persisted between boots before Trusty.
