Thank you all for your help, Florian's suggestion and Leonardo's confirmation |
| 27 |
is what worked for me too. Everything is as it was before KDE4.6, except for |
| 28 |
one thing, the kdm login box shows up on the left hand monitor, and the KDE |
| 29 |
splash comes up on the right hand monitor after entering the passwd. |
| 30 |
Previously it was in the middle of the whole virtual desktop and stayed there |
| 31 |
throughout the KDE startup process. This is more of an observation, rather |
| 32 |
than a complaint. It seems that the two monitors are separate under KDM and |
| 33 |
the KDM wallpaper is cloned, but the login box is not. In KDE-4.5.5, during |
| 34 |
KDM the two monitors behaved as one (xinerama style) and then they split into |
| 35 |
separate screens after KDE started up. |
