I have an external full HD monitor that I plug to my laptop with HDMI. Every
time I change the position of the second monitor it becomes "clone of" the
first one and resets the resolution. 
Don't want to use AMD control center because it requires me to restart each
time I want to change the configuration.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest ATI/AMD drivers from amd.com
2. Plug it the external monitor
3. Go to System Settings -> Display and Monitor
4. Set the second's monitor "Position" to "Left of" and press "Apply".

Actual Results:  
Position resets to "Clone of".

Expected Results:  
The desktop area should be expanded to the second monitor.
