   The xinerama option is off.  I have also been posting to the KDE
forum but I don't achieve to get it working. The point is that I haven't
changed anything of my "xorg" configuration file. I just upgraded my
system using the "safe-upgrade" option. So far, whenever I maximized a
window it just span to one monitor and it was great. Now, it seems to be
changed in KDE, because the xorg configuration file is exactly the same.
What's more, I installed XFCE4 to do some additional checks and it also
works fine there.
   I've read that it is necessary to get this behavior that the software
has been compiled using the xinerama flag. Do you know if the latest KDE
package has been compiled using this flag?
Hello, do all the list member one last favor and don't top post.

I had this issue with xinerama. It may depand on the card and driver you are
using (ati and nvidia must be configured using their config tools)

may be your xinerama configuration is for the local user, but I'ld bet it's
because you're using ati or nvidia

else I don't have anything in mind, that could help you.

Do you have an ATI card?  My experience with the linux driver from
ati.amd.com is generally better than xorg out-of-the-box for dual
monitors.  Just remember to use aticoncfig, aticonfig -h really helps
with available options.

Good luck.

Hello,

According to the following posts, it seems to be a bug related to the latest kwin package:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2009/03/msg00139.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2009/03/msg00259.html

   May be it is useful for othe people who are facing the same problem.

At the KDE forum said me that likely the latest kwin version wasn't compiled with the xinerama option enabled:

"It is possible to disable this extension at compile time and is the most likely cause of why you are getting the problem you are facing. This protocol is also used when using XRandR to keep backwards compatibility."

   Thank you for your comment!

   Regards,
