I have a Matrox G450. All I can say is I dl'ed the Matrox drivers, and powerdesk from their site. Then I had two separate desktops. With a fast config change, I could have xinerama as you stated two monitors merged to one large desktop. KDE is my DE.

Tell me more. How do I run it (from the commandline, if possible)? Dean P.S. From stuff I've seen on the web, it does seem to be necessary to have compiled KDE with --enable-xinerama (or some such) but everyone tells me that Mdk comes that way. And, again, I have no idea which packages "count" with regard to my problem. Do I need to look through the .spec files of all 24 or so KDE packages to make sure they all have xinerama enabled? Surely someone on this list runs both xinerama and KDE. Please help me. (But first read the previous postings in this thread :-) To do so go to http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/expert/2002-07/ and search for xinerama. Thanks. Dean
