Dual head setup



Hi guys,

I'm banging my head against this one - with little effect...

I just installed Etch on my workstation, which has a Radeon 7000 and two
Dell 19" LCD screens.  I'm trying to set up an extended desktop - sort of
need it that way to be able to work efficiently.

I followed various howtos and posts in the internet, and what I have now
seems to be what I'm supposed to have but I'm still getting just a cloned
display, and KDE doesn't give me the option to change anything (in Control
Center --> Peripherals --> Display).

Is there anything special I have to do - some package I forgot to install?
 Here is my config.

Thanks
Hans
