I installed Ubuntu 15.04 and I have problems with my 2 monitors.

I need to set my left monitor as primary before the login screen appears, because the login screen appears on right monitor. I found some solutions. But:

  • ati drivers are not supported by 15.04.
  • xprofile isn't working.
  • script with lightdm.conf not working.
  • xorg.conf was missing.

I generated it, but it generated this

It looks like it isn't complete config, I see there only one monitor, no resolution settings etc.

How can I edit it?

My xrandr output:

   720x400        70.1 

Also I need to set xrandr brightness to 0.8 for one monitor permanently. It is old and there is some hardware problem and screen is so white.

When I set brightness through terminal, it looks better, but after restart it goes back do default. Sometimes it just resets while working too.
