Description Gabriel Limoges 2009-06-20 23:19:24 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    I Don't Know

When a second screen is plugged in, the user cannot separate them to have a dual screen desktop.

- Boot linux.
- Make sure that a second screen is plugged to the computer (laptop).
- Notice that both are clones.
- Go in display settings.
- Set the resolution for the second screen (As default the same as the 1st screen).
- Try to make the second screen asides the first one.
- Notice that the user can't set the second screen to be asides the first one.

Note: If the user put an higher resolution on the second screen than the first one, the first screen becomes totally useless since the user can't see the task bar.

Note: Clicking on the green rectangles that reprensent the screen does absolutely nothing.

Note: Clicking the ''Identify outputs'' button shows both screen names on both screens.
