On Gnome Classic, Gnome Shell, and Cinnamon, this command worked to set the default desktop:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary
Again, swap out HDMI1 for whatever other input you may have. This command will tell you the available inputs/monitors:

Code: Select all

xrandr
Add the first xrandr command (xrandr --output <OUTPUT> --primary) to your startup applications in Gnome/Cinnamon/Gnome Classic or add the xrandr command from my previous post for Xfce.

On KDE you can use the display settings to adjust everything, and clicking "Save As Default" saves it. KDM doesn't work with multiple monitors, however (although I haven't looked extensively enough into it or MDM).

xrandr --output HDMI1 --left-of LVDS1
All deserved cw. I'll get back to that guy on the ubuntu forums and link to this thread here.
He might even switch over to LM Xfce!
