My top screen is 1600x1200--I hope you still take such case (4:3 shape screens including some resolutions lower than this) into consideration. X11 or Wayland? If X11, does it work better on Wayland? X11. I'm unsure I'm going to try Wayland... Why not? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Wayland is experimental, even if I heard it doesn't crash as much as used to (but crashes can be worse, requiring restarts, not always case with X) and seems not as good as X as Wayland does much less, and KDE's main page on Wayland has a long bug list with some serious bugs... one minor movement bug that has a solution isn't as bad as that long list of bugs, as this geometry detection bug hasn't happened since. Something must've triggered it, either me disabling & reenabling a display, or too much graphics resources were being used (not likely the case again), then either way KDE maybe automatically reconfigured & moved my screens, then something went wrong with that geometry. Those things won't always even do it, and perhaps I had the PC on for several days/weeks and a restart of KDE or reboot of Slackware (also if I had updated KDE) would've solved the geometry thing. I still use and like several X programs. I'm not sure all my hardware works on Wayland, but I know they're working on it. Using Wayland is completely out of the question unless it ever becomes a default/only option. In the future I'll reinstall one or more desktop session video recorders and in the rare chance the bug might happen again, see if I'm able to capture it. I don't care if you close it for now because I haven't been able to record it. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

It never worked for me, but apparently isn't a KDE bug, but a X bug of whatever (Xinerama?) controls multi-monitor management for any window manager (WM) or desktop environment (DE) as I had same problem when using XFCE. |
