Description Gaël de Chalendar (aka Kleag) 2020-01-31 08:41:48 UTC

SUMMARY
At work, I use two external screens connected to a dock and keep the lid of my laptop closed. When I reconnect it, external screens configuration is always lost and must be set again. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect two screens and a laptop to a dock
2. Prepare the screen configuration you like
3. Disconnect the laptop and come back later
4. Go to Step 2 and repeat

OBSERVED RESULT
Configuration is not saved

EXPECTED RESULT
Configuration should be saved.

As screens are identified individually, I think that several configurations could be saved and the most appropriate one automatically selected or at least proposed.

In fact you can do this. On System Settings' Display Configuration page, you want to use the setting for "Save displays' properties: For only this specific display arrangement"
