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:
