Konqueror and MultiHead
I have a test installation that I set up with SuSE 8.2 last night on a machine that uses a Matrox G550 dual head video card. Everything works as expected except that Konqueror in its various forms as browser, file manager, etc., refuses to start on head #2, instead always going to head #1. All other applications behave correctly. Incidentally, I had noticed this on an 8.1 installation updated to KDE 3.1, but thought that it might be a kderc file or something that I had missed. I haven't found any issues about this by googling around for it. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks, -ronc

Ronc, Not sure if this is your problem or not, but check your settings to see if there is one specifying that you can only start one instance of Konqueror at a time. Seems like I have ran across this in KMail or in the control center, don't remember, sorry. Patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.1 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
I just tried this on a 4-head installation (G200 cards x 4). Konqueror starts on screen 0, but can be dragged to any screen (if you are using Xinerama), or indeed stretched across multiple screens. I suspecxt this is a windows-manager setting of some kind. On Fri, 2003-05-09 at 09:32, roncordell@attbi.com wrote:

-ronc Hi,
I have not looked into the problem but you can start a new konqueror instance from the command line. Open a new shell on the second screen and enter konqueror & at the prompt. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
