Hi,
I have installed 11.3 and KDE 4.5. I managed to install the Nvidia driver (through Yast) and use nvidia-settings to setup my two monitors with twinview.
Now from there I am quite puzzled. The settings say the desktop is 2560x1024, however I have to set the background of the two monitors separately.
I used a folderview "desktop" on the left monitor, and I don't seem to be able to "extend" it on the right monitor - I tried to setup another forlderview on the right monitor, but it insists on being a widget on the desktop and on showing a "title". I tried to use the same "activity" on the right monitor but then any object that appears on teh left monitor is mirored on the tight one...
Is there any way to achieve a setting similar to the one I use currently: a twinview desktop spanning both monitors, with links to some partitions and drives on the right side (à la Macintosh)?

KDE does not support having one desktop spanning two monitors, for one simple reason: lots of people have monitors with different resolutions. Such a setup would either require having part of the desktop inaccessible on one screen, or have part of one of the screens being wasted. The Nvidia settings may allow this, though. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
