Hegh,
Thank you for putting the xrandr command. It works fine for R60 with

Here's my workaround (from a terminal window):
$ # Determine what the output names are:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1024
DVI-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm
x 301mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0*
The workaround proposed by Vu Ngoc San can be implemented in a clean way, too:

I am so glad this will be fixed for 10.04! Thanks 7oby for the good
news!

As a workaround, I use ARandR which works perfectly fine, including
drag'n'drop of monitor positions, and the ability to save monitor
schemes, that you can later load from .bashrc or .profile.

it fixes the setup of multiple monitor setups:
Unfortunately (and quite unfortunately at that) this is not cherry-pickable. :(
It breaks just about every post-release protocol imaginable; adding new,
untranslated strings as well as modifying the strings of KRandrTray, which
would make them untranslated. This would definitely *not* something

I agree that this should be a higher priority. Being limited to 1
monitor (especially if it's a tiny 15 monitor like mine) is a huge
drawback. Does the Multiple Monitors option in the Display Settings work
for anyone in 9.10? If it does, it might be hard finding that someone on

In Kubuntu 9.04 there was no 'Multiple Monitors' tab, so I worked around

it just works.

I wonder if anyone can shed light, I have almost the identical problem. But

It seems that the Multiple Monitors section is designed to work only with

kde 4.3 Multiple Monitors tells lies
So digging in the bug reports (kde bug #180437) revealed those buttons
for positioning are intentionally left out. Compare to recent SVN
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/randr/outputconfig.cpp?view=markup
// FIXME: RandRScreen::applyProposed() has a bit of code
Mmmm
I thought then gnome-display-properties would be a good workaround,
since it works perfectly under gnome.
(with a nice graphical interface that does screens positioning)
But for some reason gnome-display-properties cannot apply changes when
run under KDE.
Does someone know what to do to
Ah: if I run
gnome-settings-daemon
and then

it works !

accessibility options, mouse settings (like acceleration), will start

I can confirm this on Karmic with Geforce 9800GTX+ using Nouveau driver.
XRANDR works, and creates the dual screen when the correct spell is
typed on the Konsole. But if I open the System Settings - Display, I
get little bit of flickering and I have a clone mode again within my 2
displays :( So
The behavior described by Toni also occurs on Intel hardware. Opening
System Settings - Display will force clone mode. Very bad.
