Yes, this is very probably the reason. As far as I know, the xinerama functionality is not implemented in a shared library, but in a static library which changes from XFree version to XFree version. The result is, that a KDE compiled with xinerama support will only work if XFree86 on the target machine is the same version as the XFree86 on the machine where KDE was compiled. I think that recompiling the KDE debs is not *that* hard, so it might be possible that you can do it yourself. Presumably, recompiling kdelibs should be enough. (Note that if there is anyone on the list who knows *exactly* where KDE links with the static xinerama libraries, please correct me if I'm wrong!) -- Andreas Trottmann Ideen Werft22 GmbH Tel +41 (0)56 210 91 37 Fax +41 (0)56 210 91 34 Mobile +41 (0)79 229 88 55 Werft22 sdreamt auch an der CeBIT in Hannover vom 12.-19.
