Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux When an external monitor is connected to a Thinkpad T60 and the user uses System Settings -> Display to disable either internal or external monitor, the setting is not saved across logout/relogin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect external monitor and boot laptop. 2. Log into KDE. 3. Open System Settings -> Display (both displays detected and active). 4. Disable either display; save changes. 5. Log out and log back in. Actual Results: Sometimes: both displays on again after login, despite changes. Other times: one display "off", but mouse still movable to "dark" display and listed desktop width the size of both displays, not single display. Expected Results: Disabled display remains dark; mouse not able to move "onto" that display; desktop width the size of single remaining display. Current workaround: start KDE from $HOME/.xsession, which contains calls to xrandr. For example: xrandr --output VGA --off startkde When this is done, KDE correctly ignores the disable display and does not include the display in desktop width. ADDITIONAL BUG: When this workaround is used, starting System Settings -> Display in the KDE session will cause ALL SCREENS to go permanently dark until Xorg is manually killed/restarted from a virtual console.
