While rearranging my keyboard shortcuts in the control center, I noticed that in the Desktop Switching subcategory, there are "Switch to [Next/Previous/Left/Right] Desktop" and "Switch to Next Screen." What is the difference between switching to another desktop and switching to another screen?
View 1 RepliesI saw a compizconfig video on ....., I forgot what it was, but I saw that they were running a video full screen and switched desktops or work areas and when they went back the video was still full screen.
Right now if I do a video full screen and switch to another desktop and come back to the video one, it is back to the window size before full screened.
How can I accomplish for my video to remain full screen even if i switch desktops?
In KDE I'm using KWin as windows manager and somewhere in the configuration I defined that KDE should rotate the desktop cube to the left or the right each time I move my mouse pointer to the far left or right of the screen.If I keep it there for about a second it rotates the desktop cube to the next desktop.I once activated this but find this very frustrating when I'm trying to reach buttons on the same side. So I want to disable this feature but I can't find it anywhere. I can't remember where that option was that activated this feature.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using a Fling KVM switch (by Belkin), to connect 2 computers to my monitor One computer is running XP and the other is running Linux. My wireless switching mechanism has just gone the way of the saints but Belkin has supplied a software solution for this occurrence. There is a small app called Fling (surprising) that allows me to switch from the XP machine to the Linux machine but nothing to switch back to the XP. What I need to know is there a similar app for the Linux computer. (NB I have tried Synergy but have no idea how to set it up - I've been told that synergy might work).
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I install a new desktop manager without uninstalling the old one, how do I specify which one to use? I wanted to look at LXDE, so to see what would happen, I installed it without uninstalling KDE. KDE apparently just sat underneath, and was unaffected. I didn't keep LXDE, but I might, if I could switch back to KDE to do work until I understood LXDE. (Keeping up-to-date in MEPIS will force me to learn KDE 4 despite that KDE 3 was fine, so I might as well examine other desktop managers.)

Is it simply a case of waiting for an 11.2 version to appear?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch which is stopping Ubuntu 9.10 from getting the EDID information from the monitor on startup.The resolution at startup is 800x600 and lower resolutions are available but nothing higher.I have plugged the monitor directly into the computer and the screen is OK and gives all the resolutions available from the monitor.I got the EDID information from the monitor when it was plugged directly into the computer using "sudo get-edid". Then I put this information into the Xorg.conf file and did a restart with the KVM switch in place.
However the screen resolution was back at 800x600 with nothing higher available.The xorg.conf file still has the information from the "edid" request so it has not reverted to the old file.I understand that 9.10 does not have an xorg.conf file but I upgraded from 8.?? to 9.10 and I think that it came from there originally.The question is how can I get/force 9.10 to read and use the information from the xorg.conf file so that I can get the resolution I want?Or is there another way?I tried to pipe the output of edid into a file whilst logged in as root :
Code: [sudo get-edid > /etc/X11/edidinfo.edid
bash: /etc/X11/edidinfo.edid: Permission denied][ So that I could refer to it in the xorg.conf file - Why was permission denied?
I have a laptop that is a little bit older, and OpenSUSE was running pretty heavy on it with the KDE and Gnome desktops (I installed Gnome, tried it for bit, then wiped it and did a clean install with KDE).
Since it was so sluggish on that laptop, I grabbed a couple live CD's of OpenSUSE with the LXDE and XFCE desktop environments. The XFCE disc doesn't seem to boot at all, which I tried in a couple different computers, and on Virtualbox with the same result.
LXDE worked fine and I installed it just fine, with hopes of switching over to XFCE later, as I like it better. This brings me to my question, can someone tell me what the easiest way is to switch from the LXDE desktop to XFCE?
I found a page in the OpenSUSE site that appears to be dedicated to XFCE, here is the link:
Xfce - openSUSE
I went there, I clicked on 11.3 on the right hand side, and then clicked on the 1-click install option for X11fce, the first option. It opens the YaST software manager and I followed the prompts, and it finished. All of the packages were installed, except XDM.
I was expecting that the software would install and configure the desktop, and I'd reboot to see an XFCE login. This was not the case.
what the correct, and safe way would be to switch desktops?

I have a Dell laptop with an NVIDIA graphics card that I use with a docking station attached to a monitor.
My problem is that if I shutdown without first changing the NVIDIA settings back to the single monitor (the laptop's screen) when I boot with the laptop undocked half the screen is on the monitor that is not attached.
Is there a way to switch between dual and single monitors without using the NVIDIA settings.
I installed Ubuntu on two seperate boxes and one of them switched itself to a higher screen resolution than the other somehow. I prefer the newer screen resolution but don't know how to switch the other box to that resolution.
