Fullscreen mode destroys my multi monitor desktop setup

Post by Kukulkan »

Hi,

I run Kubuntu 14.04 (x64) with KDE and two monitors (Intel Graphics Driver). This works fine except if I run a PB program with FullScreen (OpenScreen() function. If I run such, both monitors showing the same and after returning to desktop, it stays. Now, both Linux Desktops running layered on the same monitor and both monitors showing the same.

Today it happened after running this: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=66571).

I have to restart the whole computer to restore the initial dual monitor setup. Log off and log on to a new KDE session does not fix it.

Is this common? Or is it my setup only?

What is OpenScreen() doing internally? For me it looks like it destroys the horizontal offset for the KDE monitor configuration.

Hi!
I have a prim. monitor (hor.) and a second. one (vert.) and have no problem with
the mentioned example - set with the system settings-menu.
Tried it with Kubuntu 14.04/x64 w. PB5.42 and also Xubuntu 14.04/x32 + Mint 17.3KDE/x64 with PB 5.42 + PB5.50B3.

The only idea i have is: i always use separate backgrounds for each monitor :?:

Regards, Charly
