Description cdevidal 2002-08-23 21:31:00 UTC

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

Package:           xinerama
Version:           KDE 3.0.3 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-112)
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Kernel 2.4.19

This bug happened in 3.0.0 in RedHat 7.2 before doing a clean reinstall to 7.3 and installing 3.0.0 then 3.0.2 and now 3.0.3.

I have two screens (1280x1024 on the left and 1024x768 on the right) and I use Xinerama.  The left screen is physically lower than the right.  Icons and Windows insist on placing themselves near 00 in the upper-left-hand corner which is off-screen.  Usually I can just drag the windows down with Alt+Drag but that is a "drag."  (:

Anyway Xinerama support has come a long long way.  Way to go guys!

Also I would like to add that I am running XFree 4.2.0.

Is this bug still present in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE 4.0 RC 2?

Comment 3 George Goldberg 2008-02-22 05:07:08 UTC

Closing due to no response by reporter. Please reopen if this bug can be reproduced in a recent version of KDE, such as 4.0.1 or 3.5.9
