Summary: kde startup breaks XRandR setup
Product: kdelibs
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: apaku gmx de
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
After switching from Xinerama/Xorg 7.2 to XRandR/Xorg 7.3 for a multi-head setup KDE broke the working XRandR setup when I ran startkde. The problem is the randr-configuration thats stored in startupconfig and has hardcoded values for the screens and their positions. Then during startkde these values are read and set via xrandr and this breaks if something changed in the setup and the user doesn't get notified at all.
In my case the kde startup just disabled the 2nd head.
