I'm unhappy to further report that my dual monitors only work after I log out and log back in after rebooting. When I boot up my laptop monitor doesn't display anything. My desktop is displayed on my external monitor. If my external monitor isn't connected then I don't have any display at all ! I am hoping this gets fixed before the weekend as I have to take my laptop on the road on Saturday morning. However, if I log into a KDE session and then log out and log in again, my laptop monitor comes to life. Someone forgot to initialize something somewhere ?
