0. Remove all configuration that is not in .kde/share/config/krandrrc

I presume this means xorg.conf.  So I removed all screen stuff from
xorg/ and a previous attempt at set up from /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup and
rebooted.



1. Configure your display using System Setting / Display and Monitor

VGA1 moved from disabled to auto 1680 x 1050
position clone of LDS1
select "Apply" and accept cofiguration.

.kde/share/config/krandrc is now
[Screen_0]
OutputsUnified=false
UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
UnifiedRotation=1

[Screen_0_Output_LVDS1]
Active=true
Rect=0,0,1280,800
RefreshRate=59.9763221740723
Rotation=1

[Screen_0_Output_VGA1]
Active=true
Rect=0,0,1680,1050
RefreshRate=59.9542503356934
Rotation=1


2. Save as default

I presume "apply" does this., doesn't seem to be any other save method.

3. Delete all occurances of "\nxrandr" from .kde/share/config/krandr, i.e.
make it a single xrandr command in StartupCommands line

There is no .kde/share/config/krandr file  so I presume you mean krandrc?

There are notxrandr lines in that file or any file in that dir
[zebee at paddy config]$ pwd
/home/zebee/.kde/share/config
[zebee at paddy config]$ grep xrand *
[zebee at paddy config]$
[zebee at paddy config]$ grep StartupCommand *
[zebee at paddy config]$

What files do I create/edit so that when I boot the box the login
screen comes up on the large monitor if it is connected?

Previous behaviour was that the VGA1 and LDS1 screens were identical
and I could start the laptop in the dock with the lid shut, the
attached VGA1 screen would show all bootup and then the xlogin in the
LDS1 resolution (1280x800) and I could use a script to set the large
screen resolution.
