Public bug reported: HI,
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with KDE4. it was new installation of Kubuntu Jaunty. I running on Sony Vaio laptop with nvidia card. Using external monitors, Fujitsu in the office and Samsung at home. So there are 3 cases. 1. LCD only, 2. LCD + samsung, twinview, 3. LCD + Fugitsu , twinview When I work at home and next day go to office and I have xorg.conf configured to use case 2 and I startup my laptop connected to Fugitsu monitor, I can see login screen addapted to wrong resolution which is not much of trouble but after loggin in my desktop and panels don't come up, I get just blackj background and cursor. switching between consoles work also running any programs using alt+F2 is ok.. So I assume plasma can't get up. There is no plasma in process list so when I run it manually as my user it does produce attached output and doesn;t come up. If I run plasma by superuser ti comes up OK, just everything I run is under root and I don't want that obviously. What I have to do everytime I boot up system with different monitor attached or even with no monitor attached is to go to console and copy appropriate xorg.conf file and restart xserver. What I would expect ideally would be remembering configuration for particular monitor attached and if not that at least plasma to work and possibility to change settings using nvidia-settings. Right now I can change configuration using nvidia settings but plasma doesn't come up and I have to save xorg.cong and restart xserver. This used to work this way in gnome on 8.10 I used before. plasma output on manual run as normal user: <unknown program name>(5242)/ checkComposite: Plasma has an argb visual 0x1d99380 58720257
