I've used dual-head with KDE4 here a bit, and it seems to work fine with the
NVidia TwinView configuration. Whats different is that you have to manually
go to the new screen, and setup your desktop wallpaper there, along with any
widgets you want to place. It looks like the panel isn't able to stretch
across both screens anymore, although you can always add a 2nd panel on the
new screen, and add widgets to it.
Hrmmm ... I just tried restarting X with xinermira(sp?) support enabled, and
get odd results as my monitors are two different sizes ... under KDE3, there
was a way of starting up a second WM / desktop on Screen 2, vs Screen 1 .. I
couldn' tmove windows between monitors, but could cut-n-paste between monitors,
and start applications on each ... but they were totally independent otherwise
...
Is that functionality gone with KDE4? I'd hate to have to downgrade back to
KDE3 :(
My nVidia card is: nvidia0: <GeForce 7900 GS> on vgapci0 ... and I'm using the
nvidia kernel module ...
Marc,
I've attached my xorg.conf file. It is configured using "twinview" that
the nvidia driver support. In my System Settings -> Display -> Size &
Orientation program, it shows up as one large desktop.
That being said, I did just upgrade my dual-head system to KDE 4.1, and
I can confirm that there is a bug in it now that wasn't present in
beta2. When I first logged in, I had a working desktop on my first
screen, to the left, but on my right screen it was just grey. I could
move my mouse over to the new screen, and draw working programs over,
but it appeared that Plasma was not being started on the 2nd screen
properly.
I've also found a bug report relating to this on bugs.kde.org:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164242
You should go vote for it, and maybe we can get this fixed right away.
Also, I did manage to get Plasma started on the 2nd screen, if you read
my comments on the bug report, you'll see it.
