Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
Howdy All - I've noticed on Karmic that I can't seem to hint to KDE which output to use as my "primary" (ie where my toolbar goes.) I've got a Thinkpad T61 with: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) I have the bulit in LCD on LVDS1 and and an external monitor with VGA and DVI inputs. If i connect *only* the VGA to my monitor and tell xrandr: thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output DVI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary ; echo $? 0 KDE behaves properly - VGA is enabled, right of LVDS, and taskbar is on LVDS. However, if I connect *only* DVI to my monitor and tell xrandr: thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output DVI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 ; echo $? 0 thinkpad ~ $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary ; echo $? 0 KDE sends my taskbar over to the external monitor (which is wrong - it should have made internal LCD primary and kept the taskbar there), but screen geometry and positioning are correct. this is on a Karmic 9.10 system, with versions: armal...@armalota-thinkpad ~ $ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-core libxrandr2 kubuntu-desktop kdebase-workspace-binxserver-xorg-video-intel: Installed: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://software.linux.ibm.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xserver-xorg-core: Installed: 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 Candidate: 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 Version table: *** 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4 0 500 http://software.linux.ibm.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status libxrandr2: Installed: 2:1.3.0-2 Candidate: 2:1.3.0-2 Version table: *** 2:1.3.0-2 0 500 http://software.linux.ibm.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status kubuntu-desktop: Installed: 1.154 Candidate: 1.154 Version table: *** 1.154 0 500 http://software.linux.ibm.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status kdebase-workspace-bin: Installed: 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7 Version table: *** 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7 0 500 http://software.linux.ibm.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kwin doesn't honor xrandr --primary flag https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471271 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
