[opensuse-kde] TIP if your multi-screen setup is horribly broken
If you run Plasma 5.6.x with multi-screen, you risk trouble. Esp if you have a setup like I do: one screen vertical and one horizontal. You'll get a totally screwed up desktop/window management. Work-around: let the panels auto-hide or allow windows to go under/over them. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361551 for the problem I reported and some work arounds and comments. Solution: wait until Qt 5.6.1 is out, I suppose... But plasma 5.6.3 should already deal better so that might be good enough. On a personal note, once Qt 5.6.1 is in I'll move over my workstation to Tumbleweed. I hope things settle down on the KDE front, it's been disastrous lately with multi screen stuff :( Hugs, -- Jos Poortvliet (jos@owncloud.com) ownCloud Community Manager ownCloud GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, Holger Dyroff, Frank Karlitschek Schloßäckerstrasse 26a, 90443 Nürnberg, HRB 28050 (AG Nürnberg)

More than on the "KDE" front, on the Qt front. Just yesterday I read about QScreen being broken even on certain mobile devices... There are patches floating around to remove some of KScreen usage from plasmashell (as opposed to the now-fixed QScreen), but that won't be done until Qt 5.6 is a hard dependency (and won't be until 5.6.1 is out I guess). -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B

Hugs,
If you add a bit of hyper recent hardware (like my Quadro M2000M) a hidpi screen on the laptop with a native 280 dpi, and external 27" 168dpi hidpi and a normal 19" image the mess you can create :-) Perhaps I should organize a BBQ at home and invite some plasma dev to check their assumption directly in front of real hardware :-) Hopefully the beautifull days are coming ... I'm actually using a frankenstein tw (oss + qt56 + kuf + kua + kue) :-) But start to be quite stable since a week. Now I'm fighthing to have the right patch fro kernel 4.6 and nvidia 364.15 ready. And also I've udev playing around with my disk (I'm using Label instead of uuid) Have fun. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Those who need to get work done across multiple displays can disable KScreen2 in Background Services, and configure X an old fashioned way, through either /etc/X11/xorg.con*, or using xrandr in an X init script.
