I have a couple people that I work with that have dual monitors setup and are using KDE. I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's the Cirrus Logic video card your using on the 2nd monitor. In the cases of the people I work with that have dual monitors..their monitors are the same brand and the video cards they are using are the same brand as well. Two of them have dual nVidia cards and the other has 2 ATI Radeon 7500's which are cheap BTW..both ATI cards cost a total of $80. I never had much luck with Cirrus Logic under Windows (years ago) and I'm not sure how well XFree86 4.x.x supports them...they may only be supported by using XFree86 3.x.x. in which case your going to be really unhappy with performance. * VB (vboyt@yahoo.com) [030302 00:22]: ->Hi all, ->I got a display to show up on each monitor but the ->second monitor's display is still very shaky.
