[kde-linux] Trouble with Xinerama on Redhat EL 3.0

Fri Oct 21 00:18:44 UTC 2005

Hi!

I'm currently running RH EL 3.0, and am trying to get dual displays to work
under KDE 3.4.3.

I've done a lot of reading so far, and have got this situation:

1) X starts up - I think in Xinerama mode - since the screen is blank, the
mouse pointer one the left screen, and I can move it over to the right
screen.

2) On starting KDE by doing a startx, I get identical displays on both the
screens, and I can continue to move my mouse pointer from one screen to the
other.

At this point I'd like to state I've compiled qt with all the options
specfied on the KDE compilation page, changing -no-xinerama to
--with-xinerama.

Also I've compiled kdelibs, and kdebase using this library, and with the
--with-xinerama option.

I cannot see any options whatsoever under control panel -> specifically
Desktop-> Window Behaviour->Advanced
or
Peripherals->Display->Monitor (The panel is blank)

The only option I do see - is:
Desktop->Panels on the right hand side I see 'Xinerama' and options to set
panel for either screens. Just now I discovered on clicking 'Identify' I see
both numbers - 1 and 2 over one another on both the screens.

What am I doing wrong here ??

Aso I think it would be worthwhile to mention, I'm using a Radeon X330 Card,
and using a DVI to VGA Splitter.

Your help is required and appreciated! :)

Here's my XF86Config:
