Thanks Neil, there's the 'Display and Monitor' section in SystemSettings. = =20 I've changed things around, changed their position from 'absolute' to 'righ= t=20 of' and back again, changed the refresh rate to auto and finally changed th= e=20 Primary Output to DVI. Logged out/in and it is still the same xinerama lik= e=20 behaviour. One big single virtual screen, rather than two screens in two=20 monitors as it was until 4.6 came along. I knew from the start KDE4.6 was installed something was amiss because the= =20 toolbar at the bottom of the screen was extended across both monitors (it u= sed=20 to be on the RH side only) and on the left hand monitor it was not visible = (it=20 was below the bottom edge of the screen). This is really annoying and hinders productivity ... :-( =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart13615344.cOJMvCDHuU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk3S+z8ACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZzcgCZAZeoweMN+kIyzXyqBc/eEXhx UZ0AniJrzUOt9mYIrlLDLZuFcqwMbOwm =AXG+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart13615344.cOJMvCDHuU--
