OK, decided to give it a go and followed the howto. Now both monitors
are working, but xinerama isn't - the second monitor just repeats the
image of the first and the mouse doesn't go there.
I clicked on the enable xinerama button in KDE configuration and
restarted X, but still no go. I have attached my XF86Config-4 file.
Can anyone see what I've missed?
thanks
