Being a KDE3 user myself (on AMD64) the one thing I won't sacrifice in the eventual move to KDE4 i= s: a triple head setup with 2 separate desktops running compiz fusion on bot= h. I have two nVidia cards driving this and it works pretty well. I =C2=A0ha= ve my "main" desktop occupying the left two LCD's in "bigscreen" mode and th= e other desktop (i.e. a separate KDE instance) in the right hand 3rd monito= r. Has anyone gotten a setup like this to work in KDE4 as it does in KDE3? What's the compiz support like in KDE4? Thanks, Allistar.
