KDE dual monitor wallpaper

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Have dual monitors, and, when using kde, the wallpaper on the right screen is solid blue and not Constantine like the left screen. When clicking the cashew on the left screen (I can't believe there's cashews for both screens) it seems the wallpaper is pointed to Constantine, although the Author space is blank (it says Fedora project on the left screen). Does anyone know if this is the norm in F12 KDE? Is there a bug that doesn't allow the wallpaper on the right screen to show up. (Sorry am not so good at finding it on bugzilla, nothing seemed to come up.) Is there a different wallpaper I can point the desktop settings to that allows it to come up on the right monitor? I'm using a Nvidia 9800 GT card and the nouveau driver, which work perfectly fine in Gnome. I've tried everything in system settings/display/multiple monitors also. Any ideas? TIA (HowTos)

Stories similar to KDE dual monitor wallpaper

So I recently made the jump from Fedora 10 to Fedora 12. Fresh install of F12 64 bit. Got the nvidia drivers all installed, Nouveau is completely gone and not running. Previous to having done any of that, I had a widescreen-style wallpaper that was spanning OK across 2 monitors with no issues.

OK so I was on the boostff27 rom and everything was working fine. I had to do a factory reset and when I booted my phone back up my scrollable wallpaper didn't work anymore. My screen moves left and right but my wallpaper stays stationary. I thought maybe my rom was out of date so I went looking for a new rom well that didn't solve the problem.

Hello.

As you are aware, it is not possible to pick a wallpaper for the One S without having to fill in the left and right fields in the wallpaper picker, whereas only the center field of the actual screen resolution is used.

I am using Dual Monitor and want to have only a "Background Color" on booth monitors.

But somehow the wallpaper on the 2nd monitor don't dissappear. When I select to use a wallpaper file, it is visible on booth monitors, it does not matter what I am doing like streching, center --> it works fine.

[kubuntu] Dual monitors in 12.04 36 weeks 18 hours ago

Hey all,

I just installed Kubuntu 12.04 on my desktop computer and have been having some trouble setting up dual monitors.

The good news is I've managed to get them working, more or less. However, every time I boot up the computer, the main screen (X or whatever it is in kubuntu) is on the monitor on my left instead of the one on my right.

Weird Wallpaper Behavior 27 weeks 1 day ago

I am having an issue when I hit the home button, my home screen wallpaper shifts back and forth. Almost like it spazzes out for a sec. From then on, if i am on the home screen, I hit the home button it does the same thing. Sometimes shifts the wallpaper to the right or left, so the remaining half is black, or it will zoom in on the wallpaper.

Support Desktop wallpapers 38 weeks 4 days ago

I have my phone divided into 5 screens left too right and wondering if there is any way to have the same wallpaper on each of the 5 screen instead of having 1 wallpaper spread across the width of the 5 screens?

Kubuntu 13.04 KDE 4.10.2 Acer 22" Monitor ViewSonic 27" Monitor AMD 8Core 4.2ghz+ 16gb DDR3 1866 RAM XFX 2gb DDR5 Video Card 256gb SSD TB HHD TB HHD 2ea DVDRW

Both monitors have an active cursor. Left monitor has magnified schreen which only contains an anolog clock widget, a disk usage widget, a network monitor widget, and a weather widget.

I have 2 nvidia cards with three monitors Left (0), Middle (1), and Right (2). I have to use xinerama to make them all one desktop because xrandr only joins 0 and 1, leaving 2 as a separate desktop. My understanding is that xrandr can ONLY join two desktops, which is why I am using xinerama.

After MUCH trouble, I have three displays, all one desktop. But, there is a problem.
