Hi everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I would like to setup a dual-head desktop using X.org 7.4 and KDE 4.1.2. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I successfully achieved to configure my dual-head setup using xrandr. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Basically it looks like this: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of LVDS |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The VGA-0 screen's resolution is 1680x1050, the notebook-display is 1400x1050. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As said before this works fine but KDE 4.1.2 treats the two screens as one |
| 14 |
single screen so the panel is centered in the middle of the overall-desktop |
| 15 |
and windows maximize over both screens. (See screenshot |
| 16 |

| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The desired behavior is that the panel is just on one screen (optionally more |
| 19 |
panels on the second) and the windows only maximize on the screen they are |
| 20 |
currently located. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Do I have to compile KDE (and maybe other packages) using the 'xinerama' USE- |
| 23 |
flag? In that case I would say this is confusing because I think that xinerama |
| 24 |
is deprecated and I would suggest to rename it to something like "multi-head". |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If it is of interest: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and addressed by the |
| 27 |
'radeon' driver. |
