you should also try kde 4.5 rc1 or better rc2 when it comes out, there where quite a few multiscreen fixes for kde 4.5 as mentioned, please retest with at least kde 4.5 I will wait until KDE4.5 is stable on Gentoo and after upgrading I will retest this. I can confirm this very exact behavior. I had it with KDE 4.4, 4.5 and now running: kde-4.6.3 xorg-server-1.10.2 xrand-1.3.4 (libxrand-1.3.1) kernel 2.6.39 64bit nvidia drivers 275.21 (happened with older versions, too. KDE suddenly only recognized the twinview-screen as 'one' monitor, stretching the background, KDM and all other apps. Multiple screen configuration in the system settings is no longer available. Once the third screen is removed (in its 'additional xorg screen' config) and disabled, the TwinView screen is correctly recognized as two Monitors again. Maybe the OP or anyone else has an idea dispite compitz for a workaround =S Sincerely KDE 4.7.1 and nvidia drivers 275.21 on kernel 3.0 No imrovement, same problem. Making it *impossible* to use three screens. Inbetween plasma draws utter nonses (my screens do nto match in size, confusing plasma completely) and every now and then it crashes :-( Setting status correctly. I can confirm that this problem still happens. KDE version: 4.8.3 Distribution: Gentoo xorg-server: 1.11.2-r2 xrandr: 1.3.5 kernel: 3.2.12 (x86_64) nvidia-drivers: 295.49 I think this is a bug in xrandr or one of the libraries it calls (possibly the RANDR extension in xorg itself). If I enter the "xrandr" command from Konsole running in screen 0 (the dual monitor screen that KDE wrongly things is one large monitor) I get this: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 3360 x 1050, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 3360 x 1050 default connected 3360x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm 3360x1050 50.0* Hello! This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!
