Description Jens Schmidt 2006-10-24 22:09:07 UTC
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

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!

Do you think that this Bug is a Ditribution Bug?

Are you still having this problem using more recent version of KDE/Qt/Xorg ?
Comment 4 FiNeX 2008-03-22 11:32:05 UTC
ATM wallpapers and screensavers are working fine in KDE 3.5.9.
