[Bug 403610]
Thanks for reporting your bug. Since reporting Krandr has since been replaced by KScreen. It is available in the Plasma 4 series, and is default in Plasma 5 onwards. I hope this solves your issue. If you still have a problem after upgrading please reopen a new bug under kscreen.

[Bug 403610]
Sorry for the late response. The request got lost in an overloaded mailbox... I have just tried to set up two monitors, connected to an NVidia GForce GT640, using the nouveau driver on Fedora 20 (Gallium 0.4), KDE 4.13. I had attached the second monitor to my running system and started Display settings module. I could move the screens around but after hitting apply the screens were not redrawn for some time and then reverted back to the original layout. In a second test I booted the system with the two monitors attached. This time the Display settings module worked fine. I could move monitors around and choose which monitor to make primary. I did not ever see the pop up dialog asking to confirm the settings for 15 seconds.

[Bug 403610] Re: kde 4.3 Multiple Monitors tells lies
Chris has hit the nail on the head, this is a major issue for anyone presenting to or training clients, let alone the impact it has on your desktop efficiency. As a small business owner it is essential we spend our time running our business not mucking about with out IT, it's also essential that we look professional in front of our clients and dropping to the CLI at the start of a presentation is not really an option. With any number of different projectors and large plasma screens out there, at any number of different resolutions, this is one feature which needs to work seamlessly. xrandr seams to detect everything correctly - all the time - it would appear the os just doesn't do something intelligent with the output. Anything you can do to bump this up the priority list and resolve it will be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I guess we will have to continue to use arandr which so far seams to work. -- kde 4.3 Multiple Monitors tells lies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 403610] Re: kde 4.3 Multiple Monitors tells lies
+1 to the higher priority. This is a significant bug, not a missing feature. Anyone who doubts it should try using their Kubuntu for typical professional purposes - like presenting; I did a presentation recently and everything worked, recognising and understanding the existence of dual monitors (the laptop screen and the projector). Like everything including the incredibly useful OpenOffice Presenter Console, which started automatically when the slide show was started. Everything except the ability to use the dual monitors out of cloned mode, which resulted in the Presenter Console being overlaid on the presentation; not something you can quickly workaround by editing xorg.conf or fiddling with a CLI. Fix it, or tell me what needs to be done to fix it.

Low priority? Seriously??? I think it's probably likely that business users make up more than a significant portion of people who use Linux. Adding real multiple monitor support to any non-nVidia hardware is such a huge PITA that even I won't touch it with a ten foot pole, so I'm stuck on a single screen. I'm glad to see that the option is even in Display, but what's the point of having it there if it's not functional, and the likelihood of it being made functional is Low? There really isn't one. This is just one more thing that makes KDE seem less professional than Gnome. I know most of the KDE developers are volunteers and that this is like biting the hand that feeds you, but I think a core goal of future KDE development should be feature parity with other window managers as well as simplifying features that Windows converts desperately need (like disable touchpad when usb mouse is plugged in). If not, I have to question the goal of having a separate window manager at all.

Re: [Bug 403610] Re: kde 4.3 Multiple Monitors tells lies
So digging in the bug reports (kde bug #180437) revealed those buttons for positioning are intentionally left out. Compare to recent SVN http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/randr/outputconfig.cpp?view=markup // FIXME: RandRScreen::applyProposed() has a bit of code for positioning // outputs, but it's commented out and might not work as is. Until someone // gets this to work, it's probably better not to show these controls. positionLabel-setVisible(false); positionCombo-setVisible(false); positionOutputCombo-setVisible(false); and once you had a look at RandRScreen::applyProposed you know why it is not working.

Mmmm I thought then gnome-display-properties would be a good workaround, since it works perfectly under gnome.

I does, but gnome-settings-daemon will also set keyboard layout, accessibility options, mouse settings (like acceleration), will start you a gnome screensaver and might inflict with clipboard management.

I can confirm this on Karmic with Geforce 9800GTX+ using Nouveau driver. XRANDR works, and creates the dual screen when the correct spell is typed on the Konsole.

You do not appear to have this configuration. Which is a lie. Although to be absolutely pedantic, it's true, I have one desktop repeated on two monitors but would really, really like to have a single desktop spread across multiple monitors - and had presumed that's what the Multiple Monitors tab should be helping me to achieve?

Note for those with a similar problem and to save some posting time for the technical elite: I know of two ways to manually enable two monitors as there was in KDE4.2, namely writing your own xorg.conf (can post my sample if others are interested) or using xrandr to achieve the desired result on a per session basis (although I had to add: SubSection Display Virtual 2720 1024 EndSubSection into the otherwise generic Screen section of my xorg.conf to get xrandr to allow me to use xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --output DVI-1 --right-of DVI-0 (you also have get the larger screen into the right resolution first by disabling the smaller (DVI-1) and setting the larger to its preferred resolution then reenabling the smaller). The size of the Virtual section is the maximum of your virtual desktop as determined by the xrandr output, in my case left plus right screens' widths and the height of the tallest screen.
