On my brand new KDE equipped laptop (which uses the nVidia binary drivers), I can simply select clone in the nvidia-settings. I must admit I've yet to test it on a non-nvidia based KDE laptop. BTW, At least on my colleague's Windows 7 and 8 machine, Windows lowers the laptop resolution down to the crappy projector's resolution and there's nothing I can do about it. On the other hand, using nVidia settings I can simply attach the project view to the top left corner of the my laptop display without lowering the resolution. - Gilboa _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
