Hi all

I was hoping for some help with a dual display issue for ibex.

I am running kde4.1. I can drag a window over the second monitor, however if i try to split it across it will crash X11 back to kdm. i can move my mouse in the second screen with no issues, but it dosn't display a desktop, nor any widgets etc.

I'm pretty sure this is to do with kde rather than X11. But any advice would of course be appreciated.

thanks

Details as below

aticonfig --initial --dtop=horizontal
