KDE and Xinerama

[crow2icedearth]

I have read many threads on this topic but i still cant figure out how to get the maximize problem with windows exspanding across the screen. i have kcontrol and i have no option for xinerama. and i have it emerged with xinerama support compiled in .

how do i get it to work ?

post your xorg.conf file

should look something like this

Option "TwinView" "TRUE"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-86"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50-160"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200,1600x1200"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen1"
Device "device1"
Monitor "monitor1"
DefaultColorDepth 24

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Virtual 3200 1200
EndSubsection

Subsection "Display"
Depth 15

This is a problem with Xinerama not being recognised by KDE's window manager not with his xorg.conf since he already has it working. In another thread using Enlightenment was said to work and XFCE 4.2 also works as that is what I use. I would have though KDE would work with it, maybe there is some other option you also need to enable when you emerge it to get it to work with Xinerama.

my xorg file is working fine because i have tripple moniters working using xinerama ext. my xorg. isnt the problem i did compiled kdelibs and kde with xinerama use flags under my /etc/make.conf file using gentoo linux.

so i dont understand why i dont have a checkbox in kcontrol for xinerama which i should have. also kcontrol doesnt show my display settins either . is this a bug with KDE with trippl monitors .

Option "TwinView" "TRUE"

i dont hav NVIDIA card so im using xinerama . my config file isnt the problem i dont think it would be . because i can move windows to all three monitors fine .

Have you tried it with just two screens active? Have you also tried using other window managers?

thats not the problem . i fixed the problem :) the problem was i didnt compiled qt with it supported. i must of added xinerama to my use flag after i setup tripple monitors. i was told i need that by a gentoo user and he was so correct. so i remerged it then kcontrol has an option for it it now and it works fine. i knew it had nothing to do with my X server config and i was correct. i should of know i had to emerge with qt librarys .
