When I have NO xorg.conf file, KDE starts in clone mode. The 1280x1024 LCD wins and the 1680x1050 gets that same resolution. Or worse still, the widescreen is disabled. I've gone into krandrtray and Systems Settings and, in 4.6 now, can save it as the default. It never does, or, if it really is saving defaults, it is ignored upon next KDE restart.
