Hi,
I use Trinity R14.0.4 under Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell Optiplex 990.
My setup is dual screen (1 HDMI 27po, 1 DisplayPort 24 po) connected to a Radeon video card.
The 24po is on my left and the 27po is in front (main screen).
I tried tderandrtray, Trinity Control Center, System Settings to set things up with success.
But each time I log out or reboot, the display settings are lost.
Both screens show the same display (main) and are in reverse order (left/right).
Is there a way to make Trinity remember my screen settings so I do not have to set things up each time?
Thanks!
same problem here, there is definitlty something wrong in trinyty with multi screens, I always have to go back to the config and apply it again.

Have you tried to save a configuration for the two monitors in the TDE control panel and make sure it is applied at startup when two monitors are detected? Cheers Michele
Maybe this solution is not official and proper one, but works: Put the xrandr commands in a shell script and execute is at startup.
I have such script which detects is my notebook docked first. If yes, dual-screen configuration for dock outputs are set and notebook's LCD is turned off. If it's not docked, script checks for display connected to VGA port. If it is, it duplicates screen from notebook decreasing resolutions to 1024x768 as it's usually a projector in a lecture room and it can't do more. MCbx

I do the same. In the office I have two additional monitors and at home one. So a shell script is checking what is available and runs xrandr to setup the monitor and resolution. Perhaps this is the reason we never noticed that the settings are not saved and/or applied at tde session startup. In fact I have noticed this on a VM ware recently, but I was thinking it has to do with the vmware. I think it is worth a bug report, so that we may not forget to inspect this.

Can one of you guys please share that kind of shell script here on the list to give me a clue how to start?

OK, this is a sum of 3 scripts I use:
#!/bin/bash
#Test if we are not in dock if [ -a /dev/video0 ] then #echo "Going to dock mode!"; xrandr --output LVDS1 --off #xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 xrandr --newmode "1600x1200b" 180.0 1600 1604 1796 2050 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x1200b xrandr --output VGA1 --primary --mode 1600x1200b xrandr --addmode DVI1 1600x1200b xrandr --output DVI1 --mode 1600x1200b xrandr --output DVI1 --right-of VGA1 else #we are not in dock. Check do we have output on VGA
if [ -n "`xrandr | grep "VGA1 conected"`" ] then #echo "Going to projector mode!"; xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x768 --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS1 fi fi
There may be problems with newlines. "1201 1204 ..." is the continuing of previous line. "--mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS1" is also in previous one.
WARNING: Do not use this script directly on Your monitor without checking. High frequency may damage the monitor, especially old CRTs.
So what I'm doing there: first I check for availability of my tuner card, this card is installed in dock. It computer is in dock, I: 1. Turn the LCD off 2. Set a custom 1600x1200 mode (here called "1600x1200b" for my monitor which is connected through Sun-VGA adapter and X has no idea how to handle 1600x1200 on it. 3. Activate it as primary. 4. Activate the second display (DVI) as the one right of VGA monitor. If I'm not in dock, I look for something connected to VGA port. If there is, LCD gets down to 1024x768, and VGA copies it.

SCREEN=`xrandr | egrep "[[:space:]]connected[[:space:]]" | grep -v eDP1` if [[ "x"$SCREEN != "x" ]] then xrandr --output $SCREEN --right-of eDP1 --auto xrandr --output eDP1 --off else xrandr --output eDP1 --auto fi
eDP1 or LVDS depends on your card - look into the driver manual

startupo is not enough, sometimes I shutdown the external screen, back to the main laptop screen, and the need to come back to dual screen. and i dont reboot more than once a month . . .
