Dual monitor support in 8.10 and KDE4

[madhusker]

I need to run two monitors with their own X sessions. I was using 8.04 with KDE3 and this xorg.conf worked like a charm. However even in hardy's KDE4 it seems the simplicity of dual monitor support is not there. After upgrading to 8.10 I see beloved KDE3 support is gone and now I am dead in the water. Can anyone confirm that dual monitor support is still just a dream for KDE4? I have listed my xorg.conf below but this configuration doesn't even post the second monitor.

Thanks.

What a whipping for sure!! Been a madhusker since Solich took over....

Hopefully someone runs across this and has an answer.

Hey, check out:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config

It might help you...it has to do with the alleged "config-less" X system that 8.10 uses.

Hope it helps!
