How does one set the configuration of multiple screens in Leap?. The "Display and Monitor" button no longer displays the options to select screens, sync etc.
I found that if I look at the Display settings center under the KDE window, the correct display appears. What changed under LEAP so that the display configuration window that used to appear correctly under FVWM now fails? And how can I fix it?
KDE's display configurator relies on xrandr, so absent the KDE settings window, you can nevertheless use xrandr yourself. Screen configuration can also be done using xorg.conf*, which has always been my preference. For setup via xrandr, http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/setup has many examples, among which many are for dual displays. Each line uncommented can stand alone. IOW, it only takes one line to get the job done. Dual display lines include one of strings "above", "below", "right-of" or "left-of". Subject to limitations of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929016 one could put a one-line script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ (or in ~/.xinitrc; not personally tested). For setup via xorg.conf, files in http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/ can serve as templates to build your own. If you had ever told us the configuration you want and provided hardware specs, I would have made you custom files. These two have been specifically tested to work for KF5 on openSUSE with NVidia GeForce 8600GT and nouveau driver: xrandr method: xrandr --dpi 120 --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1280x1024 --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of DVI-I-1 xorg.conf* method: http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/xorg.conf-nouveauDualDVI-left1280x1024-right... The xrandr method, placing the command in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/setup, does NOT work using startx to run an XFCE session on 42.1. You may encounter the same limitation using FVWM (as discussed in above bug 929016). I suggest you try the xorg.conf* method file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf after modifying its specified modes to match your displays, and DisplaySize to match your taste (or delete the whole line to use 96 DPI). -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
