In KDE4 Plasma, I can change the monitor relative location, primary monitor, etc... in the "Configure Desktop -> Display and Monitor".
e.g.

However, in KDE5 I cannot change these settings in "System Settings -> Display and Monitor".
Here is a screenshot of "System Settings -> Display and Monitor" in KDE 5:

Anyone has idea how I can config primary monitor and change monitor relative locations?

Environment: openSUSE 12.3
Current KDE5 repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_13.2/

That are the "Desktop Effects" settings. You should have "Display Configuration" too, just like in KDE4. See also the first picture here: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.2.0.php
If not, you probably don't have kscreen installed. In openSUSE the package is called "kscreen5", look for something similar in your package manager and install it.
For further hints, you should at least tell what distribution you are using.

Yes this solves my problem. I didn't install kscreen5 (which requires to uninstall previous version of kscreen).
After `zypper in kscreen5` the problem solved.

My environment is openSUSE12.3. Hope this post help people who meet this problem.
Thanks!
