15 I often find files owned by "root" in my $HOME... This could explain
16 some oddities tho I didn't see your effect yet.
17
18 You can quickly find such files and directories with
19
20 # find $HOME -user root
21
22 I'd also check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and .../xorg.conf.d directory),
23 modern installations usually do not contain screen configuration there.
24 You may want to clean up there if there's something configured.
25
26 FWIW, I have the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf:
27
28 Section "Screen"
29 Identifier "Screen0"
30 Device "Device0"
31 Monitor "Monitor0"
32 DefaultDepth 24
33 Option "Stereo" "0"
34 Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-1"
35 Option "metamodes" "HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
36 Option "SLI" "Off"
37 Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
38 Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
39 SubSection "Display"
40 Depth 24
41 EndSubSection
42 EndSection
43
44
45 It's only needed because I'm booting with EFI GOP and the VBIOS defines
46 my TV as the primary monitor resulting in very very tiny fonts if I
47 don't change the order to use "DFP-1" first.
48
49 Actually, I want my system to clone both outputs - that is why I
50 position both on offset +0+0 statically. But upon login, KDE will apply
51 whatever I defined in kscreen.
52
53 So maybe you have some script running which "unapplies" this during
54 login after KDE has set the settings? Check you login session scripts.
