+title: Testing KScreen packages available for openSUSE

+
+Yesterday [Alex Fiestas showed on his blog a video of a recent development version of the KScreen library](http://www.afiestas.org/screen-management-got-magic/), created to handle easily multiple monitor setups in KDE, almost in an "automagic" way. As this is a project where configurations and setups are _highly_ heterogeneous, a lot of testing is required to ensure things work reliably.
+
+Of course, you cannot ask a developer to have all sorts of screen combinations, but remember one of the strengths of FOSS: "many eyes make bugs shallow". And that's why the KDE team prepared **testing** packages for KScreen for openSUSE users.
+
+Before you jump to the repository, bear in mind that these packages are for **testing** and **bug reporting purposes**. They can potentially cause unwanted effects, connect your displays to some random alien homeland, make your house blow up, and so on.
+
+If you are still daring, you can find them in the [KDE:Unstable:Playground repository](http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories#Updated_applications_only). Install both the `libkscreen` and `kscreen` packages, and you'll see a new entry in System Settings when you go to the monitor configuration control panel.
+
+Make sure you report all bugs (along with detailed information on monitor setups etc) to [bugs.kde.org](http://bugs.kde.org).
+
+Let the testing commence!
