Well, that's significantly better than the kcontrol display applet does |
| 9 |
for me! It sees two monitors, but only has clone mode, so if try to |
| 10 |
change anything, it forces clone mode and screws everything up. Even |
| 11 |
after switching back using my xrandr based script, plasma is still mixed |
| 12 |
up and have the activities in the wrong place. It always takes me a bit |
| 13 |
of fiddling with zooming in and out and etc to get it right, again. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
And a couple versions ago, 4.3.0 IIRC, it was WAY bad. I only had to |
| 16 |
stop at that applet on the way to another one, for it to screw things |
| 17 |
up! I didn't even have to change anything, just open that applet, |
| 18 |
accidentally (as it certainly was after the first time!) or deliberately, |
| 19 |
and it would screw things up! I learned to steer VERY clear of it! |

But FWIW, the rumor is that the bug that's triggering the problems, that |
| 22 |
it recognized only one of the CTRCs or whatever, is fixed in trunk, and |
| 23 |
thus will be fixed for 4.4, scheduled for February. I'm eagerly awaiting |
| 24 |
that day, as I've not had a properly working kde display applet in years, |
| 25 |
with kde3 either, so am really anticipating actually being able to play |
| 26 |
with it in the GUI and have the changes work like they're supposed to! |
