KDE does not recognice my Xinerama displays

I have a strange problem with my KDE setup. Xorg sends output to both of my
monitors and I can move the mouse between my monitors (only one mousepointer
is visable) so X seems to work OK.
KDE shows the same picture on both monitors but I can only click
in one of them (if I try to click in the other monitor nothing happens). If I
select Desktop -> Panels -> Identify in ControlCenter the small box with the
numbers 1 and 2 "overlap" on both monitors. Any suggestions on what could be
wrong?

Here are the versions that I'm running on this box:
xorg-x11 6.8.2-r6
ati-drivers-8.23.7
KDE-3.4.3

Can you post your xorg.conf here, please? I have a dual monitor setup with TwinView (nvidia's version of Xinerama) but I think I could help you.

I think your setup is wrong. If you want one unified desktop, shared between the monitors, you should check the Big Desktop, Ati configuration(binary driver).

Please read the following and run 'fglrxconfig' to configure your xorg.conf (back it up first!). If it doesn't work you can send the newly generated conf here again.

Good luck:)
