Description chapinjeff 2009-02-21 11:53:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Every time I logout or login, my second monitor gets disabled, and all my configurations to it are lost.

Given the regularity of plasma crashes, this is a huge issue.

After every login, I have to go to system settings -> display TMDS-1 (connected) -> size (disabled) and change that to 1280x1024(auto), and then apply. At this point, the two screens are clones of each other (but at least working) and I need to run xrandr to fix that, since I see no option in the display settigns configuration to fix this.  Appears to just be one of the many features coming up missing after the removal of control-center.

At this point, I have to reset the wallpapers on the second monitor, and I have to re-add a panel, as well as all the panel widgets.

Additionally, twice now I have let the computer turn off the monitors to power save, and when I return, the plasma 'stuff' is gone from the second monitor.

Additional:

When enabling the second monitor, it fails to copy the appearance settings from the existing monitor.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
