taskbar streched

I've been using linux for about 3 years now and have been using twinview the hole time, i figured it out on my own with just adding Option "twinview" to the device section, it worked, the monitors were located correctly, and the taskbar was on the left monitor where i like it. However now that i'm on gentoo, this method works all but the taskbar is stretched across both monitors. How can i get the taskbar to be on the left monitor. I'm using gnome. Heres my xorg.conf

Sounds like you have compiled things without the xinerama use flag. Add "xinerama" to your make.conf and then do an "emerge --pretend --newuse world" to see what will be reemerged. If nothing strange or unwanted shows up leave away the "--pretend" and restart. --newuse is what tells emerge to look for changed use flags.

thanks for the reply, here's what i got running emerge --newuse world after adding xinerama to make.conf

I read somewhere that sys-apps/coldplug package is obsolete so i removed it and proceeded with emerge --newuse world, and seems to be going soomthly, i'm still compiling gcc-1-1-r3.....
