[...] Basically they are saying that KDE 4 doesn't really support a dual screen setup and that

They're wrong - I've been using it with dual screens since 4.0.4 and it works perfectly (provided you don't want to stretch one panel across both screens). The thing is that each screen has a separate desktop activity with its own plasma setup (I haven't tried it with a plain i.e. non-plasma setup) but if you don't mind this (and I don't) then I can't find any other drawbacks. In fact, I kind of like it like that because I can have separate backgrounds on each screen (it just so happens that they're photos of my kids). I use an nvidia 9400GT with the latest binary drivers and have xinerama setup in my xorg.conf file. I have had the same setup since 3.5.8 (previously using an FX5500). I do think that performance may have been slightly better with the 195.36 drivers than the current 265.xx drivers but I haven't yet switched back to confirm that. Anyway, the point is that dual-head on nvidia on KDE4 works great. Anyone who says it can't be done should go back and re-read the nvidia docs. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =========================================== ======== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
