Re: Dual monitors KDE 4.2 - no panel, no keyboard focus

[mike1993]

same story here.
KDE - working screen 0 and just a background on screen 1 and no ability to do 
anything on screen 1.

running under Gnome works as expected - separate X screens.

i'm trying to kick the nvidia habit on  my desktops, so i'm using nouveau, but 
the simplest xorg.conf i have is:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen  0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "DVI-I-0"
Option   "LeftOf" "VGA-0"
Option   "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier   "VGA-0"
Option   "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier  "Device0"
Driver  "nouveau"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option  "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

And it works like a charm and givesme two separate workspaces in KDE.  -A

I have dual monitors using Nvidia Twinview.  I

The secondary display only shows wallpaper.  Mouse
clicks on the screen are ignored.

I can start a program on the second display by running
a command in the primary display: "DISPLAY=:0.1 konsole"
but this screen does not take keyboard focus.  Doing
the same with konqueror, the mouse works, but again
the keyboard is inactive.  Neither of these windows has
taskbars at the top, so they cannot be moved.

Running GNOME, the dual display works OK, with both
screens active.


One correction:  I'm not running Twinview.  When I
turn on Twinview in the nvidia-settings applet, I
get a single X window over both monitors.  I want
independent X sessions on each monitor.

Have you seen this information?  It helped me.

Thanks.  I'll take a look at it.

At first glance looks like it creates a single virtual screen
running on two screens.  That's what I have now with twinview.
I want independent screens running on each display.

But I'll give xrandr a shot.  What can it do other than
screw up my X config.  As if that hasn't happened before.
