Hi all..

After fiddling around with those ATI drivers I finally got some kind of Xinerama working - KDE runs across both monitors, everything seems fine at the first glance. But XFree presents one monitor of 2048*768 to KDE, therefore KDE does not recognize that I'm using Xinerama. It will not open windows on one or the other monitor but mostly maximized over both screens. This itself is annoying but I could live with it, but the main problem I got is with kghostview, openoffice and stuff - those programs show up normally when it comes to menu and toolbar, but the document itself is streched - ie it is two times as wide as it should be whereas the height is normal. Therefore an A4 portrait will show up like being an A3 landscape, and an A4 landscape looks like two A4 landscape next to each other. The text in the document is also streched - the characters themselves are not, but the space inbetween is.
This is very annoying, how is one supposed to make a good layout this way

I hope getting KDE to think I'm using Xinerama will help - but I don't even know where to start with that :/.

TIA very much!
