I've got dual screens, but KDE only ever picks them up as one big one. My VM (Vista) detects two screens (which indicates X must know there are two) but not KDE. Is this just a limitation, or is there something else I need? Xorg.conf has two screens and two monitors defined, serverlayout has screens position specified.

xorg.conf:
Code:
localhost ~ # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Simple Layout"
        Screen         0 "firstscreen" 0 0
