Multi display issue with Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 [closed]

Solution 1:

I have the same issue

seems like gnome-settings-daemon is not loading monitors.xml at startup

my work around is to run this command

pkill -9 -f gnome-settings-daemon

as a "Startup Application"

i have documented this in my ubuntu 14.04 update and problems post

not sure if there is a better solution

Looks like a bug to me. If you'd like to see it corrected I would suggest that you mark on the official report that this bug affects you.
