I am running 12 3 on a box with Intel GMA HD 3000 2000 on board graphics chip and KDE 4 10. I have two monitors attached and can set up dual screens using the kde settings. This does not affect other DE's such as xfce.
Is there a way to set up the monitiors globally so that the setting is available to DE's other than KDE4 please ?
Mike You could write a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Whatever DE you use.
Dsant, from France I could if I had any idea how to do that. Is there guidance available anywhere ?
I used to mess with xorg.conf back-in-the-day for dual monitors and secondary displays using projectors and TVs. I was ecstatic when KRandRTray (/usr/bin/krandrtray) was introduced and love it even more now. It's stable as a rock! I only use KDE, but could you run KRandRTray from within the other DE's? Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but you mention that you use KDE and other DEs so you would already have it installed. I believe KRandRTray may be just a front-end for or calls xrandr. If that doesn't work, perhaps you can use xrandr directly. Once you know your settings, you can get write a script that calls xrandr with those settings and setup the other DE's to run the script when they start?
