> 3. Configure Seperate X Screen via Nvidia-Settings
why are you using this feature? If you want to have proper multi-screen don't use that.
partial dupe of #256242, there's a patch attached. also see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107853/ This does fix the problem halfwise, the situation about kglobalacceld is extensively discussed on the dupe. Needs rebase to current master and on top of the present Xcb wrapper class. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 256242 *** I use separate X Screens because if I use twinview the full screen flash shows on the second monitor and not the 1st monitor like I want it to - also twinview will occasionally start applications up in the wrong monitor , If i use separate X Screens the app will show up in the monitor it was selected from and is non transferable to the other monitor. still dupe, the problem is more complex and all the info is over there. With 4.10 you'll be able to enforce a screen for windows by windowrule. since nvidia also has complete xrandr support now, i suggest you'll give twinview another try then. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 256242 *** |
When I press Alt+Tab I 80% of the time will not get anythig, the other 15% the task switcher shows up on the wrong screen (I have dual monitors with Xorg.conf using Seperate X Screen Layout not twinview as it does not play nice with full screen flash videos (shows up on 2nd monitor and not hte primary)), and the remainder of the 5 % the window switcher shows up on the correct "primary" screen.

Install Arch Linux from scratch so it is brand new nothing is modified 2. Install KDE and activate it via systemctl enable kdm.service; login 3. Configure Seperate X Screen via Nvidia-Settings 4. Press Alt + Tab Actual Results: Task Switcher occasionally shows up, if at all on the wrong screen...doesn't even take into account which monitor the cursor is on. Expected Results: Task switcher to show up on the active screen in question.
