[solved] Help with KDE and Xinerama behaviour

[joefish]

I'm trying to achieve a dual monitor setup where I can have windows maximize to one of my two screens, and be able to move windows between screen if I wish. The KDE panel should sit on only one screen. If I'm correct, I understand that KDE should do this itself if it's built with the xinerama USE-flag, so I've done this.

The problem is that it does not. New windows open up in the middle of my two screens, and maximizing a window makes it take up both screens. What am I doing wrong? (I'm new to this!). Is there something else I need to do to get KDE to behave the way I want?

Here is my xorg.conf, as configured by nvidia-settings:

Yeah i remember that was really weird to configure. IIRC you have to build all KDE packages with the USE="xinerama" (put it into make.conf and do an emerge --newuse world anyways) and put something like this into your xorg.conf (works here):

Thanks for your suggestion. I just solved it by doing 'emerge --newuse --deep world'. I had already done an 'emerge --newuse world', but that didn't catch every package that needed updating!
