(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kpresenter
Version:           post 1.1 (using KDE 3.0.0 (3.0 rc4))
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi!
I think a special support for a Xinerama presentation mode would be a killer feature.
Standard notbooks support Xinerama feature with its own TFT-display and the external vga (=beamer) connector.
So it would be cool if the audience only watch the fullscreen presentation while the user gets presentation _and_ notes on his TFT.
Current KPresenter does not support such a dual-view in presentation mode.

Something similar is a presentation on a video-wall - spawn the presentation on all Xinerama monitors. Currently KPresenter uses one screen and clears all others.

Bye

Comment 3 T Zachmann 2009-01-03 08:02:37 UTC 
This is implemented in kpresenter 2.0. There you have a presenter view where you can see the current, next slide and some additional information
