           Summary: twinview: Only second of two "screens" connected not
                    treated as "primary"
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Using twinview (with nvidia 173.14.05) works fine in the case where two screens \
(internal on laptop plus external on DVI) are connected. I've configured my external \
DVI to be the primary one. Works.

When logging into KDE without the DVI-attached screen (only internal panel, so to \
say) I get in xdpyinfo:

name of display:    :2.0
[...]
default screen number:    0
number of screens:    1

screen #0:
[...]

So that allows me to work, but I don't have access to the icons on my "primary" \
screen. But luckily taskmanager, launcher etc. is there as expected.


Not sure if that helps to diagnose: When entering KDE the nvidia-driver gives me a \
virtual resolution (dimensions of both screens added up) - so I need to pan \
right/left using the mouse. That however can be adjusted by calling "xrandr -s \
1440x900". But still no icons ... I expect that's the case because KDE-desktop \
believes this is my "secondary" screen. However since I have taskmanager, launcher, \
... at least some parts believe that this is the correct first screen to use, since \
there is only one present ... although it's name is :2.0, right?
