Running kde on only one screen in a multihead setup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have two graphics cards and monitors attached to a single machine running Debian Sid. Screen :0.0 is a general desktop where I want KDE, while screen :0.1 is used for displaying stereo images in a virtual reality system, and KDE sometimes interferes.

Is there any clean way to get KDE to run only on :0.0 and leave :0.1 alone? I've edited /usr/bin/startkde so that ksmserver has the option '--display :0.0' but this didn't seem to change it's behaviour. I'll also modified kicker and kdesktop autostart so they have '--display :0.0' which almost achieves what I want, except that I get the taskbar that would have been on :0.1 in the middle of :0.0 (and need to kill the process). I've attached the kde process list below (I only want one of each k* app that starts up).

If I use Icewm by itself I can get the desired behaviour, but I would prefer to use KDE.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Daniel
