hello,

I have differents screens working on my computer. And it is not easy to change relatives positions between them. It is necessary to use shell commands.

Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by "relative positions", but have checked the screen systemsetting module or krandrtray program do what you need?

I'll try to explain.
On my computer i have 2 screens. the laptop computer's one and another.
Configuring on KRandR, they are called LVDS and DVI. But there best resolution isn't the same: the first one is 1280x800 and the second is 1280x1024.It is normal because one is a 14'3 and the other 19' if I remember.
But I can't choose the relative position of the 2 screens without writing in the xorg.conf ou using xrand in the shell. To be easy, it should be done in krandr (non like that http://troumad.developpez.com/linux/serveurx/xorg/#L4.1)

Launch kinfocenter and select opengl. Under direct rendering and/or indirect rendering tell me what kernel module is.

OpenGl version is 1.4 Mesa 7.6.
Is that what you mean?

No, it should say what the kernel module is. Or the vendor, that would work as well.

Okay, that should work. Did you check out the display configuration module in system settings? It looks like it should be able to do this.

In the system settings, i have display configuration. the two first menu are like KrandR. The first menu is width and orientation (=rotation,...) and the second is Energy control.
I have a third one wich is called "multiple screens" but it is written "this module is used to configure computer with one deskotp on severals screens wich doesn't seems to be your case".

I don't think I have other display configuration.
Thanks

I tried this and it worked fine for me. What version of kubuntu are you using?

This no longer seems like an idea but instead a support thread. Can it be moved into a more appropriate forum or should it be locked and recreated elsewhere?
