Feature changed by: Thomas Thym (ungethym) Feature #308343, revision 6 Title: external screen detection Hackweek V: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Info Provider: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Requested by: marco mendoza (marcomendoza) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Dear Suse comunity, Im proud to say Im getting involved into the Suse world, and even though Im a simple user of the OS systems, I found essential to have a performing OS in order to perform my current work. Whereas I got in love to Opensuse (I did start with it wo knowing anything...ubuntu or Suse...I have taken Suse and Im loving it), there is a couple of current options from comercial OS systems that I feel it is missing even in the last version of Opensuse. Particulary I would like to suggest the necessity of having an external screen detection system, I heart that some people manages to do it manually, but I think that such functionality should be part of an OS at the level of Opensuse. I have in in mind other couple of whishes, I will come with them in a following post in case my suggestions are taken in consideration. Thanks for commenting on this idea and the feasibility of it. greetings Marco A. Discussion: #1: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2010-01-12 18:46:27) kde4 pops up a krandr window for me when an external monitor is plugged in. Doesn't this work for you? + #2: Thomas Thym (ungethym) (2010-11-22 16:03:50) (reply to #1) + You are right, Thomas. It's working like this in KDE. However I think + it could be improved. + E.g. when I plug in a projector: + 1. Do not move my pannels, widgets etc onto the projector screen but + keep them on the notebook screen. + 2. Offer the resolution of the device not only standard resolutions. + 3. Make it much easier to choose if you want to clone your screen of + extend it. + 4. Reduce all the flicker one the screens when you apply the changes. + (e.g. freeze the actual screen and fade into the new one when it's + finaly buit, or fade over black.) + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308343
