Hi guys, Is anyone here running a dual screen (one big desktop) with the fglrx driver? I'm having a wild time trying to make this work with an ATI HD 2400 XT card on Squeeze. I installed the ATI drivers from non-free, compiled the module with m-a - all works fine. I can configure X with a

Greetings to everybody for my first post... I can only join my voice to those who say this behavior is a pain. Since this bug appears in 3.5.10, I'm currently pinning 3.5.9 for kwin. (and I have to say it works well) However this much probably won't be possible once kde4 is uploaded into testing.

Hello, this is about SID and KDE 4.2.2 . Just like in the latest SID-Package for KDE 3.5.10, the maximizing behaviour for windows is broken for dual monitor configurations. I cannot find a setting that to tell kde4 to maximize a window only to the current monitor, not spanning it over both
