I wrote what I wrote because of what Àlex Fiestas wrote at the end of 
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-hardware-devel/2013-August/002360.html and 
because of as yet unfixed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317929 which 
taken together suggested a fix in the form of kscreen-1.1 would be 
forthcoming late last summer. Yet, kscreen has only reached 1.07x or so some 
3/4 year later, and KDE versions since 4.10.5 and krandr replacement by 
kscreen remain prone to disregard xorg.conf display configuration settings.

I do different simultaneous user sessions with different display 
configurations, and often find after the prerequisite kdedrc setting to have 
xorg.conf respected:

	[Module-kscreen]
	autoload=false

has been set that it has been undone by a version update/upgrade and I have 
to log out of KDE and either reset it false or restore the whole thing after 
finding both lines missing from kdedrc.

The OP was rather brief. Maybe 
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat/ is where the OP 
should start.
