I'm not sure if the kwin crash while enabling a second monitor is related to the original problem. Nonetheless, I can confirm it with Kubuntu 8.10 using the intel driver on a 965GM (X3100) graphics chip. My workaround is to kill plasma first, do the xrandr commands, and reload plasma. If you do this then kwin won't crash during the transition. Since I have this mapped to a keyboard shortcut, it's less annoying than it could be.
There are certainly other plasma bugs with xrandr: the background and plasmoids aren't drawn on my internal LCD when an external monitor gets enabled. I can create a new panel and move it over, though. -- xrandr+KDE4+desktop-effects: changing orientation with nvidia drivers fails to update desktop size https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
