Hi,
I'm preparing a presentation, and run into some trouble with two monitors
(openSUSE 12.3x64, KDE 4.11 from build service, ThinkPad T520, intel graphics)

opening the system settings -> monitor and screen, the two screens are automatically attached next to each other. The option to have the second screen as the copy of the first screen is removed. How can I apply this setting?

Second thing - probably not KDE related - when I move Libreoffice (4.02, from buildservice as well) to the second screen and switch to screen presentation, it just dies silently. No further messages on the command line. Is this a bug for openSUSE?

Cheers!

The easiest way is just to use the switch screen keyboard key which most notebooks have. It switches through the useful modes including clone.

If you want to use the UI (don't ) just drag the one screen on top of the other - that will clone them.

Thanks for the hint. Indeed, both ways work. Just one sentence as hint in the UI would be helpful
If one screen clones the other one, LO does not crash.
So, is this a problem in the (X) screen driver or KWin?

This has nothing to do with KWin at all - KWin is not even responsible for multi screen and also the UI is not part of KWin

The LibreOffice issue is likely a bug in LibreOffice itself, not handling the multiple screens properly.
If you run it in a terminal it may give some information on why it is suddenly exiting (chances are you will get a message such as "Segmentation fault" at the very least).
