I tried the workaround proposed by thw-th. It works, but only for the
first login. That means the screen configuration is wrong
- on the login screen (gdm)
- after locking the screen and unlocking it again
With lightdm, the login screen works like a charm but the desktop is
affected by the
Because this seems to be a timing issue, I extend the approach of
HaraldK. The idea is just start the g-s-d a little bit later. Therefore
I create a file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings-
daemon.override which overrides the exec statement:

Weirdly, I actually mean on the left. I tested different configurations
where the origin was not 0,0 (for example moving both monitors by 1 to
the right) and the monitors.xml file only takes when the primary display
is on the left. For example:
output name=eDP1
In case it's useful:
I have confirmed the issue on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 but only when the
monitor on the left is not the primary monitor. i.e. I can set my
external monitor to be on the left of my laptop's built in screen, but
only if I set it as the primary display. This might be important
What do you mean on the left? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual
physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors
must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while
the other monitor is then relative to this one.
So we have three properties a monitor
Now here is something that did help. In effect it is likely much the
same as killing gnome-settings-manager, except it is not killed, but
just started later:
sudo echo manual /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings-
daemon.override
This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon to be started by the

this mean that the support for other desktop environments is not held in

Well, Unity is the default desktop/what most users are running, so yes we look
in priority to bugs that affect it.
Canonical is also paying people to work on Unity where GNOME is

It is also happening on Unity, even if you set screen settings from AMD

Exactly the same issue with my desktop machine (Ubuntu and Gnome Shell).
