[opensuse] Dual screen on 11.3 rc2 problems
I am trying to run 11.3 rc2 64-bit on a dual screen system using the KDE desktop. When it first comes up the two screens are mirrors. I configured them to have them side by side. After a reboot the settings are lost. After searching bugzilla someone said that running sax2 would solve that problem, but sax2 would soon go away. I'm currently running 11.0 using the NVidia driver in Xinerama mode. I have it set to run a slide show for the background with each picture spanning the two screens. That's not possible in KDE, but it does work in Gnome. I currently have the panel spread across the two screens. That's not possible with either KDE or Gnome. I tried installing the NVidia driver without success. See Bug 615733 in bugzilla. The same person reported an earlier critical bug 601320 on milestone 6 with the response from Lubos Lunak that "We cannot support closed-source drivers, sorry." -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Same problem here with open source xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd 1.3.0: Since upgrading to 11.3 I have to switch from mirroring to "side by side" configuration for each KDE login. I use a Radeon X1300/X1550 (2D driver: radeon, 3D driver: R300 classic 7.8.1), first display DVI, second VGA.

It's gone. sax2-tools is still in the repository, but not sax2.

Thanks to Francesco Teodori, I got the NVidia driver to install. You need to set NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to true via yast2->system->sysconfig editor->system->kernel reboot and install (run level 3). Xinerama is not an option in nvidia-settings. I can set up the screens to be side by side and move the cursor across them, but can't put a single picture across them. The panel is still restricted to one screen. -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You should ask in the factory list, not here. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
