I haven't played with the KDE4 mult-monitor mode enough yet; but I would think |

it would be in the Display settings section of the System Settings for KDE4. |

It seems Kephal is the culprit. Quite a bit was fixed for 4.2, and even more for |
| 32 |
4.3, 4.4, and 4.5. |

Looks like 4.5 is in testing: |

Just a thought; wish I could be more helpful. |
