    You probably mean this:

    I don't know what this patch supposedly fixed, but plasma-desktop does not start on the second screen.
    Kwin does though.

    I use XFCE, it supports Zaphod well.

    FWIW, GNOME will start on both heads.

    Yeah, often you have to start editing scripts to get another window manager to start up on another display... This is particularly true with KDE4, which does not actually support separate screens. You can run KDE4 on one desktop, but not both.

    You are right, in fact, I can move mouse from one screen to another and back, it does not lock up like I had previously in 11.2. I just don't have desktop and background on second screen. But that's ok, I can still use it. I would probably work in 11.2 also if driver was configured correctly.

    So are you still unable to move your mouse and keyboard input from one screen to the other. I always thought that "should just work" (tm) in zaphod mode.

    I'm not sure if you used your own compiled copy or the packaged one in the end but always use your package manager where possible. It saves so many headaches.
