It seems like bug https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/sru1/+build/3118994. I tryed the workaround described in it but it doesn't work for me

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I solved creating a shell script with this command:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 75 --left-of DVI-1 --rotate normal --output DVI-1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 75

(please note you have to replace DVI-* with your output; xrandr -q to find them out)

and putting it in starting application

Massimo,

ti rispondo direttamente in italiano visto che sono da Verona anche se ho
segnalato il bug in inglese un pò...stentato!

Grazie per la tua risposta, proverò senz'altro a vedere se funziona anche
per me.

Un Saluto

Lorenzo

Lorenzo Volta, 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 (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
