Description Philippe Didier 2012-12-27 12:45:01 CET

Computer with 
ASUS M2N SLI mainboard
Nvidia Geforce 210 graphic card
two display devices connected :
one CRT to the DVI port
one TV to the HDMI port

When booting from the Live DVD (MGA3 Beta1 KDE) (used as a live DVD)
the first screens (choice of the language, acceptation of the licence, choice of the country, choice of the keyboard ) are displayed in the middle of a wide virtual screen spreaded on the two display devices :
The left part of these windows are displayed on the CRT, their right part on the TV.

Then, when choices are done, the first background image is splitted too .

After that everything is correctly totally displayed on the CRT (the second device display only a background image) 

KDE uses the CRT as the left part of a wide desktop and the tv as the right part of this wide desktop


With Mageia2 Live CD or Live DVD the first steps were displayed only on the CRT.  after these first steps the TV was considered as a "twinview clone".

This is resolved in final release : no more problem when booting from the Live DVD
the first screens are displayed in the center of the main monitor (CRT as default) and not splitted in two.

I close this bug report
