Killer missing feature (or bug, I'm not sure which): * Plasma not giving me desktop on second screen/tv-out. This in the very least means that I will have to keep KDE3 around as an option to be able to watch video on nice big tv, sitting in nice comfy armchair.
Non-Xinerama multiscreen has never been really supported, even the initial patches that added some kind of support for it ages ago were just ugly hacks. Try to use a Xinerama-like solution if possible.
I tried xinerama again. While I do get _something_ on my tv-out this way, I can't say I find it very useful (neither in kde3 nor kde4). My tv doesn't run in the same resolution as my monitor, so I get a lot of dead area which doesn't seem to be handled well. Say I wanted to watch a video I'd have to stretch out the window manually to match the available space every time, can't just hit maximize without half the window being invisible. Also the tv isn't an "extra display area". Instead what is displayed on the tv seems to be a clone of the top left part of my main monitor. In KDE4 (unstable) this "cloned" area is even visible on the main monitor which isn't pretty, see: http://suse.linuxin.dk/xinerama.png This "cloning" also means that I can't use the main monitor for something else while watching video on the tv. The benefit of the "clone" effect is that I don't have to worry about windows from main monitor being spread across both monitors when maximized. Here's my xorg.conf (during testing xinerama wasn't commented out of course) http://suse.linuxin.dk/xorg.conf Maybe I just don't understand a thing about what's going on, but non-xinerama twinview seems far better supported in kde3 than xinerama is on either kde3 or kde4. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
