I have a similar issue, both with hardy and with gutsy. If my laptop is connected to an external monitor of a larger size, kdm- kde4 looks fine, and seems to understand to clone the screen and make the external monitor go to its full resolution. The laptop shows a portion of the screen (virtual)
When kde4 loads, it oddly places the laptop "desktop" on top of the "desktop" created for the external screen. The panel ends up being at the base of where the bottom of where the laptop's desktop would be: and goes only as far left as the laptop display permits. The wallpaper looks like a photo was placed on an identical larger one. Plasma items can be placed on the desktop, but if slid to the area where the smaller area is, they disappear underneath it. An item on the smaller area, i.e. a picture frame, it can be dragged onto the "extended" desktop... just not vice versa. Two wallpapers actually exist: one for the smaller and one for the larger. Very weird artifacts... it is usable, just not how it should be. If I boot into KDE3, everything configures properly. -- Screen resolution incorrectly detected with external monitor in kde4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
