           Summary: Accessing systemsettings > display reverts multimonitor
                    settings to "cloning"
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gabrimonfa at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I've configured xorg to use two monitors, one on the right of another.

All works correctly except for the fact that accessing systemsettings > display
reverts multimonitor settings to "cloning" instead of one on the right of
another. There is no way to set this back, since it happens without doing
anything.

I expect that monitors persist in behaving as specified in my xorg.conf

Is it possible to solve by calling xrandr from shell

xrandr --screen DVI-I_1/analog --output DVI-I_1/analog --left-of VGA_1

where VGA_1 and DVI-I_1/analog are the monitor defined in xorg.conf

Possibly the bug is the same of 156411.

My xorg.conf follows:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "VGA_1"
        vendorname  "NEC"
        modelname       "AccuSync LCD73V"
        Option "RightOf" "DVI-I_1/analog"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DVI-I_1/analog"
        vendorname  "NEC"
        modelname       "AccuSync LCD73V"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        #Monitor                "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                ViewPort        0 0
                Depth   24
                Virtual 2560 1024
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier "Default Layout"
        Screen 0 "Default Screen"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode 0666
EndSection


I've no desktop effects turned on
