Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I am using RandR 1.2 and xorg 1.4.0. I use a two-head setup with xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS --auto to have a big desktop. When I shut the external screen off with xrandr --output VGA --off then all of the of the windows currently on the external screen are resized to 1 pixel wide or so and placed on the right border of the screen. I don't have this problem when the external screen is to the right, i.e. xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS --auto
Is this Xinerama or really multihead?
Pardon my ignorance, I may not totally understand the terminology. There is no Xinerama configuration in xorg.conf, all dual head configuration is done via the xrandr command shown. As far as I understand, this is called dual-head but not Xinerama. But I could be confused.
Oh, well, terminology. Xinerama really got it wrong :(. The implementation details may be different, but from the outside there are only two modes - where you can put a window with each half on each monitor and where you can't, the sooner being Xinerama (or all those Xinerama-like solutions like MergedFB, TwinView and who knows what) and the latter being original multihead. You presumably have the first one, which is what I was asking. I have no idea how to make the terminology less confusing.
I can confirm this. Happens when changes have been made to the desktop. It might be a Plasma problem, too. @Lubos Lunak: This is not Xinerama. Xinerama/MergedFB etc. are deprecated in favour of RandR 1.2. With RandR 1.2 you have a Virtual Screen (can be quite large, like 3000x2000 pixels), where you can place screens in. In addition there is always 3D acceleration on all screens (of course only, if there is 3D acceleration at all). With RandR 1.2 afaik, there is no "separate screens"-setup anymore. RandR 1.2 and Xinerama, MergedFB etc. are different things.
Hi! Is this bug still valid with KDE 4.5.2 and newer Xorg implementations?
