           Summary: KDE handles extended displays as one huge square and
                    thus makes itself unreadable
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: toni.helenius at lut.fi


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I attached TV to my computer. KDE didn't give any options in System Settings,
just said I have one display. Even after reboot (after reboot it changed my TV
to default display and my monitor off, no matter which of the 2 sockets I
used).

I configured the displays with the NVIDIA tools. Some configurations didn't
work at all, plasma crashed or corrupted. I finally found something that could.
Extended display, dual-view in Windows (?).

But to my horror KDE thought that I was now using one display with monstrous
resolution, 1600x1200 + 1024x768. Which is kinda correct, but it made all font
scales and whatnot so small that it was barely readable.

This shouldn't happen? Only option to get this work, was to set the TV
disabled. Which is not an desired option...
