"Under display settings" i'm not sure whether this is an xrandr issue, a setting that just doesn't work with your driver or a bug in the Display Settings control panel, but this is not something that plasma has anything to do with. sorry :/ I can't see how it is a randr problem. XRandr works fine. The problem is in determining where the window should open up. I'm guessing that plasma determines window placement? If I'm wrong, then please tell me where to file this I don't think it is a bug in the Display Settings because as I stated above, it sometimes opens it on the correct monitor, and other times it doesn't the window manager determines window placement. though unmanaged windows tend not to be managed by the window manager. :) you can try filing this with kwin (if that's the window manager you are using) |
Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs I am running a xrandr-based multimonitor setup. Under display settings, I have set "Show Unmanaged Windows on" to Display 1. Despite this, under certain circumstances, windows open up on Display 2. Steps to Reproduce: Ensure "Show Unmanaged Windows" is set to Display 1, and and no applications on the desktop 1. Open dolphin, and move it Display 2 2. Open System Settings -- opens on Display 2, instead of Display 1 My xorg.conf is as follows: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" Option "DynamicClocks" "on" Option "DynamicPM" "on" Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "on" Option "monitor-DVI-0" "lg" Option "monitor-DVI-1" "acer" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "lg" Option "DPMS" #Option "RightOf" "acer" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" Option "Position" "1680 0" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "acer" Option "DPMS" Option "PreferredMode" "1680x1050" #Option "LeftOf" "lg" Option "Position" "0 0" Option "Primary" "on" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "acer" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1680x1050" "1280x1024" Virtual 2960 1050 EndSubSection EndSection
