Hello altogether,
I am sorry to ask this, but I cannot find a clue in the net on this subject. And apparently I don’t know how to formulate the problem for google.
I have used an external monitor (video projector) with my notebook with success. I’ve chosen to set it up with catalyst 12.1 as I had trouble doing so with the standard KDE settings. Everything worked fine.
The problem:
After disconnecting the projector from the VGA-port and rebooting the system, the login screen just shows the opensuse-wallpaper. Logging into KDE (blind typing) behaves likewise. I just see the output of the secondary screen. Starting catalyst, a “1” on a red rectangular appears to mark the notebook screen as primary. Opening the KDE settings for monitor, the internal screen has an y-offset of “1050”, the vertical resolution of the external source. After a reboot the “1050” is again set up to default. I can manually reset the field to “0” and then use the screen without problems, but obviously I really like to have the laptop screen normal without resetting the y-offset manually after each system boot.
I will next try to connect the external source back, have a look into the catalyst settings and trying to disconnect it first software-side. Maybe this helps. But if so, I take this as a bug.
Has anyone an other clue? Am I simply missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Simon
