Would it be a horrible thing to have a kdelibs-xinerama-x86 , or maybe just a quick howto on downloading the source deb for kdelibs and enabling xinerama? It truly is 1000% better when using dualhead to have it supported by the windowmanager.... If not, I could probably muddle my way through getting the source... Hope you had a great weekend :-) D.A.Bishop -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7roEjKEJ4huP2XBERAhETAJ0bLXAXDWJUrOdss2vn9ki07L0PXwCfcRgN vLYvTDrn5rLWh6CITUKfdVQ= =dt4i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
