ATI and DualHead
 
hi,

I have a problem with my slackware13

ati card works, also with 2 screens but

kde leafs the second screen blank

xfce recognizes both displays, but I can not drag a window from display1 to display2

how can I change this?

what I would like to have is 2 desktops, fullscreen affects only one display, like I have it now, but I should be able to drag a window from display1 to display2.
resizing a window over both display should work, but thats not essential.

I configure this via xorg file, like that way more than amdcccle, but if there is a way to store profiles via amdccle it would be also ok.
pc is a laptop, so I prefer cp / editing files I know so that I can quickly change config


thanks for help

got it, solution is
in xorg.conf
configure just one device
configure both monitors
configure just one screen with a virtual screen size that is big enough

define pos (layout) in xorg.conf or use xrandr to layout screens.

need to to some fine tuning, eg kde puts the panel on the external monitor (which is in my case left and I think that this is the reason), but this is not such a problem
