Description Krzysztof Cygan 2009-02-03 12:34:23 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

After logging into KDE my desktop isn't displayed properly, it looks this way

as if my bigger monitor (1680x1050) was cut off and scaled down to 1280x1024 and the second monitor wasn't identified at all

after I run nvidia-settings and click apply after moving position of smaller monitor a bit, everything starts to look as it should

I didn't have this problem on earlier versions of KDE 4.2 and I use it from RC1

I use Nvidia 180.22 drivers with Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-9-server stock kernel

here's my xorg.conf
