Description mikopp 2010-08-26 15:43:44 UTC

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247688

It seems that something changed in the way kde 4.5 ebuild use the xinerama useflag.
In 4.4.5 you didn't need it at all, now you do, but it doesn't work the same as before

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Roman Zimmermann 2010-08-28 12:33:12 UTC

For me activating the xinerama useflag didn't help either. So I suspect there is something more going on.

Comment 2 mikopp 2010-08-29 08:20:12 UTC

KDE Forum entry http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=89957, as bug was closed downstream. KDE developer maintains this has to be a gentoo issue due to the compile time flags

Comment 3 Shaun Oleson 2010-09-15 12:39:00 UTC

Confirmed. Please let me know what additional info you need to troubleshoot. I'll provide what I can.

Comment 4 chris salch 2010-09-23 18:03:37 UTC

I can also confirm that I am seeing this behavior.  It appears that kde is unable to detect the edges of my monitors which it was capable of doing in 4.4.x.

Comment 5 chris salch 2010-09-24 13:36:59 UTC

Well, turning on the xinerama use flag and doing an 'emerge -tavDNu world' appears to have brought back edge detection of monitors for me.  I wonder if this is a change in one of the libraries (Qt?) rather than kde itself?

Roman, Shaun, mikopp@gmail.com:
could you please check if turning on xinerama useflag and afterwards running "emerge -uDNa world" helps in your case too?

I was stuck with this issue too, and recompiling with USE="xinerama" fixed the problem.

since noone provided emerge --info, i suppose the xinerama use flag was the issue. please reopen if the issue persists
