I successfully achieved to configure my dual-head setup using xrandr. Basically it looks like this: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of LVDS=20 The VGA-0 screen's resolution is 1680x1050, the notebook-display is 1400x10= 50. As said before this works fine but KDE 4.1.2 treats the two screens as one= =20 single screen so the panel is centered in the middle of the overall-desktop= =20 and windows maximize over both screens. (See screenshot=20 http://koesterreich.de/gentoo/screenshots/big-desktop.png) The desired behavior is that the panel is just on one screen (optionally mo= re=20 panels on the second) and the windows only maximize on the screen they are= =20 currently located. Do I have to compile KDE (and maybe other packages) using the 'xinerama' US= E- flag? In that case I would say this is confusing because I think that xiner= ama=20 is deprecated and I would suggest to rename it to something like "multi-hea= d". If it is of interest: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and addressed by t= he=20 'radeon' driver.
