I am using Ubuntu 16LTS and the default setting for the extended monitor via HDMI is on the right but mine is on the left. I set it to the left, and on restarting it begins again on the right. How can the change be maintained?I have altered the /.config/monitors.xml file to make some persistance in the placement / orientation of the monitors relative to each other. Within this file there is the main <monitors> tag, and within it two <configuration> tags where in the first is only the laptop monitor and in the second the eDP1 and HDMI1 output for the extended monitor. In the monitors.xml file, I have the laptop monitor's primary mark as no:<primary>no</primary>The monitor attached via HDMI is set to primary in the file:<primary>yes</primary>This was the other way around before making the edit. For the laptop monitor there is the <x> tag which is set to <x>0</x> and I switched this to <x>1920</x> and zero for the extended monitor hoping this would work.How do I get this setting to remain/persist?
Rearranging the placement of monitors to persist after restart?
