I haven't played with the KDE4 mult-monitor mode enough yet; but I would think it would be in the Display settings section of the System Settings for KDE4. Reading over: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=82510 http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=25765 It seems Kephal is the culprit. Quite a bit was fixed for 4.2, and even more for 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5. So you may want to see if it's a bug related to something pre-4.5. Looks like 4.5 is in testing: http://gentoo-portage.com/kde-base/kde-meta Just a thought; wish I could be more helpful. Ben
