Ok, I turned off the "Auto save changes" and turned on the "Ask at
logout" and it behaved in the way you described, so something is
obviously different. If I have all three checkboxes on, logging in
results in the same layout I had when I logged out.

I haven't really played with it on the HP I have. I did turn on dual
head mode but the external port simply mirrored the main display. I
have NOT played with the xorg.conf file yet. If I get a chance to
tonight, I will. I intended to last night but got stuck going to dinner
with a vendor instead. EXCEEDINGLY dull!
