[opensuse-kde] Separate xscreens troubles
I'm running Leap 42.3 KDE/Plasma and am having difficulties getting this configuration to work as it did/does in SuSE-13.2. I am using Nvidia's proprietary driver and its nvidia-settings pgm to configure it. It appears to try to work but not good enough. For instance, to just describe a couple of things: I set my display via "export DISPLAY=:0.1" then start an application like konsole. It does start on the correct DISPLAY but the minimize/maximize and exit buttons don't show up. If I right click somewhere in DISPLAY :0.1, I get no response like I do in 13.2. Some application buttons in some applications don't show up at all or ignored when clicked on. The nvidia-settings pgm creates an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It it possible that these seperate xscreen settings should be somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d instead? Can someone say for certain that this even works in Leap?

Since there was no response about this here or on the opensuse list, a BUG has been about this issue. It doesn't work properly on Leap 42.3 or Leap 15-Beta-187.1. It sure would be nice if this worked on Leap-15 because we are stuck with SuSE-13.2 until it is fixed. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088355 Regards Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Separate xscreens. Setup via nvidia's "nvidia-settings" pgm. Changing "twinview" to "seperate xscreens". This works perfect in SuSE-13.2. Not on ANY version of Leap. We are talking about a configuration possibly with multiple video cards. Think 6 video ports. Each with their own xscreen. But a single dual channel card can easily drive 2 separate monitors each on their own xscreen. To start an app on a particular xscreen, in this case xscreen-1, "export DISPLAY=:0.1". Then start the pgm. Regards Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

As I said, this is not supported, and hasn't been for a very long time (we're talking years). The only supported solution is through xrandr (aka "single Xserver drawing on all screens", which is what TwinView also does). -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Well, the support is in there because it almost works. You probably should phrase it like "no longer maintained" instead of "not supported". Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
