Bug Description

I am using external HDMI connected monitor. I set it up on the left side, and set it as default (star). But after restart of PC those settings are lost. I am using XORG open source video driver (default).

In comparison, it worked OK with Linux Mint 17 which is also based on Ubuntu 14.04, settings were saved, so when I connected external monitor after restart, PC would use it as default one.

So it must be Elementary issue. Using Freya Beta1

Please note that is works with Nvidia driver (I have Optimus chipset), but
that setup is freezing tty7 from iime to time.
If I use Xorg driver, setings are lost, but screen does not freeze.
