Good afternoon,

system is Ubuntu 16.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 in a docking station, which outputs sound via DP and video via VGA cable.

Since sometimes VGA output or DP (in xrandr HDMI-2) sound is not connected there is a startup-script:

if xrandr | grep -i "VGA-1 connected"; then 

xrandr --newmode "720p" 74.48 1280 1336 1472 1664 720 721 724 746 -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA-1 "720p"

xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode "720p"

xrandr --output VGA-1 --primary

if xrandr | grep -i "HDMI-2 connected"; then

    xrandr --addmode HDMI-2 "720p"

    xrandr --output LVDS-1 --off

    xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode "720p"

    xrandr --output HDMI-2 --same-as VGA-1

fi

elif xrandr | grep -i "HDMI-2 connected"; then          

xrandr --newmode "720p" 74.48 1280 1336 1472 1664 720 721 724 746 -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-2 "720p"

xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode "1280x720"

xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode "720p" --same-as LVDS-1

else

echo "kein Beamer an"

fi

works fine :), but still having the error message "Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors" each startup.

Some advise was checking monitors.xml

cat $HOME/.config/monitors.xml

but it looks perfect:

<monitors version="1">
