Version: 4.1.96 (using Devel) Compiler: Packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources I'm running kubuntu "intreoid" width experimental packages of KDE 4.2 RC1. There was no problem in KDE 4.2b1 and b2. I could reproduce this crash really easy. I start my Macbook with an external monitor pluged in. When X and KDM starts it sets the resolution to 1280x1024 of my external monitor. On the Macbook's LCD, the resolution is set to 1280x800. The screen is mirrored but cut off on the Macbook's LCD. After login into KDE I wait until all system trays, etc. are started up. Then I'd like to switch of the Macbook's LCD. For this I use System Tray "Resize and Rotate". Under "Outputs" and "LVDS" (the Macbook's LCD) I click on "Disable" and suddenly kwin crashes. I also tried to switch the Macbook's LCD off manually with xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 but kwin crashes, too. See the trace below.

The crashes have hopefully been resolved with some fixes added to KDE after the release of RC1. If you receive crashes after release of 4.2.0 please reopen bug and add a better backtrace (please install kdebase-workspace-dbg for creating useful backtraces). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 173017 ***
Many thanks. I will inform you if will not work.
