Description m.wege 2009-02-18 22:01:47 UTC
Version:           0.5 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-7-generic

I have some dificulties describing the exact problem in English, sorry for that...
I have an external monitor attached to my Thinkpad R50e with Intel graphics. The external monitor ist turned left. When I configure this in the control center, something else turns out. 
* One quarter off the external monitor on the bottom is not used at all. 
* I can not reach the buttons for closing and resizing a window (on the right) when a window is maximised. Meaning the window reaches out of the screen.
Seems like someone put some values the wrong way arround. This could be easy to fix. I will attach two screenshots illustrating the problem.

On this one you can also see the settings.
Comment 3 m.wege 2009-04-04 19:47:18 UTC
The problem still exists in 4.2.2 (Kubuntu Jaunty Beta with dist upgrades)
Comment 4 m.wege 2009-04-04 20:10:17 UTC
And it really may be easy to fix. It appears just as a set of coordinates must have been put the wrong way around
Comment 5 m.wege 2009-04-04 21:16:53 UTC
I have tryed to configure this with zarfy (an external config tool for dual monitor setups), but the problem remains, so it is not a problem of the config module in KDE.

Hi,

could you please post the output of:

Thank you for your bug report or feature request.

Unfortunately, we did not have a maintainer for the "krandr" components, which are used to manage displays and monitors in the KDE Workspaces.

The "krandr" components has been superseded by "KScreen" in newer releases of the KDE Workspaces. It is compatible with all versions since 4.11, and is also used with Plasma 5. Please check with your distribution how to update to KScreen.

If this issue or feature request is still applicable to KScreen version 1.0.5 or newer, please add a comment. We will then reassign this ticket to KScreen developers.

If you are already using KScreen to manage displays or monitors, and found a different bug or need a specific feature, please create a new ticket for "KScreen" product in this bugzilla using this link: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=KScreen
