Hi,

I've got Kali all setup with NVIDIA and CUDA drivers and it seems to be working fine.

Problems I'm having are:
1) Desktop doesn't seem to fit the reolution. I have black bars at the top and bottom of the desktop into which I can move the mouse only, no windows / apps etc. can be moved into them (it's like the aspect ratio of the desktop itself is out)

2) I have x4 GPU which has resulted in a few things appearing x4 times i.e. "Application / Places" menus, "Root" menus, "Taskbar Icon for Open Apps", "Workspace" Selector all appear x4 times

Anybody come across or have a solution to fix the above /?

TIA

I'm experiencing this same exact problem. The only difference is that I'm using 3x AMD Radeon HD 7800, and I see everything repeated 3 times.


To install the AMD Catalyst drivers I followed the tutorial here https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?25180-%28Guide%29-Installing-fglrx-14-12-%28omega%29-on-Kali-1-1-0
