Bug Description

I have two screens driven by different graphics cards. I configure them in "Screen Display" settings to have the radeon-driven secondary screen on the left, and the intel-driven primary screen on the right. Every time I start up my computer and log in, they are the other way around (primary on the left, secondary on the right).

This problem does not occur when I drive both monitors from the same graphics adaptor (but unfortunately I then get other problems!).

Reuben Thomas, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1340719

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

This bug is still a problem on an up-to-date 14.04 system. I'm sorry, I don't have time to test this with a development release (being a hardware problem, I presume it would not be interesting to try it with a VM installation).
