Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Since any update in Kubuntu Edy Eft, i have problems with the wallpapers and the screensaver. I can only get the default Kubuntu Wallpaper. Everything else (Images or Color settings) doesnt work. "Esetroot" or some other Tools doesnt work, too and they doesnt throw a Error Message. The Screensaver starts after the time i have configured in the ControlCenter, but i only get a "black screen". I use two Monitors (TV and CRT) with the following xorg.conf: root@curium:~# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" # path to defoma fonts FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" EndSection Section "Module" Load "i2c" Load "bitmap" Load "ddc" #Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "freetype" Load "int10" Load "type1" Load "vbe" load "glx" load "v4l" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" option "CoreKeyboard" option "XkbRules" "xorg" option "XkbModel" "pc105" option "XkbLayout" "de" option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" option "CorePointer" option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" EndSection Section "Device" identifier "Grafikkarte1" boardname "nv" busid "PCI:4:0:0" driver "nvidia" screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" identifier "Grafikkarte2" boardname "nv" busid "PCI:4:0:0" driver "nvidia" option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" option "TVStandard" "PAL-B" option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" screen 1 EndSection Section "Monitor" identifier "CM630" vendorname "Hitachi, Ltd." modelname "Hitachi CM630" HorizSync 31.0-86.0 VertRefresh 47.0-130.0 modeline "1024x768@85" 94.5 1024 1072 1168 1376 768 769 772 808 +hsync +vsync gamma 1.0 EndSection Section "Monitor" identifier "TVDing" HorizSync 31.0-86.0 VertRefresh 60 DisplaySize 400 225 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen0" Device "Grafikkarte1" Monitor "CM630" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" depth 24 modes "1024x768@85" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen1" Device "Grafikkarte2" Monitor "TVDing" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "720x576Noscale" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" screen 0 "screen0" 0 0 screen 1 "screen1" leftof "screen0" #Option "Xinerama" "on" #Option "Clone" "on" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection root@curium:~# I tried the "same" functionality with NVIDIA's Twinview. Then the Wallpaper and Screensaver works fine. But the Twinview is not what i want. In a previous Version it works with this xorg configuration. So, i dont think that this is a Feature Request ;-). Maybe this Error occur if there are configured two or more (graphic card) devices. Please tell me, if there is a Workarround or if you need more Informations.
Have you reported these to your distributor? It might be better handled via their bugtracking system. If you report it there, please add a link to that bugreport here, thanks!
Okay, here is the Link. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/68125 Do you think that this Bug is a Ditribution Bug?
Are you still having this problem using more recent version of KDE/Qt/Xorg ?
ATM wallpapers and screensavers are working fine in KDE 3.5.9.
