Bug Description
When I put my primary display under secondary using System Settings / Display and press Apply, X crashes and I see the login screen.
Result is the same if I use xrandr directly.

Christian, thank you very much for your help. Here is the info you've requested:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
X555LN.311

I've updated BIOS, and was able to successfully change display position using System Settings / Display (I had to press Detect Displays for that to work).
However, after I logged out from Unity, I was not able to log back --- Unity now crashes back to the login screen.
I will try running xrandr and report results in the next comment.
