I have a 3 monitor setup (including the laptop's built-in one). It was working fine with 15.10, but upgrading results in all monitors being mirrored. Attempting to reconfigure using the 'Screen Display' tool results in :


Failed to apply configuration: %s

GCBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMeth od: No such
interface 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/
gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR

when clicking 'Apply'.

The laptop is a Lenovo X250 with 1980x1080 (built-in), 2560x1440 (BenQ using DP), and 1920x1200 (HP using DVI) - using a docking station.

I found this bug which seems similar :

I wonder if anyone has any ideas for a work-around (or complete fix).
