[KLUG Members] Dual KDE monitors.

[Adam Bultman]

Hmm.. I've followed online docs, and when I put +Xinerama n' stuff on my
command line, it makes my computer crash :(.  I noticed that in the
XF86config file that was int he presentation had Option "Xinerama" in
there, so I might try that tomorrow.  I get annoyed having two toolbars,
etc.  Plus, I want WIDE screenshots.  Tee hee!

Yeah, I'll try that tomorrow.  Also, from th presentation, it appears you
can have two different screen resolutions-- with the way I have it now,
they have to be identical in refresh rate and rez, which is bad. My one
monitor can do 1152x864 or whatever @ 75 Hz, while the other can only do
1024x768@70, which hurts my eyes.

I'll see once I get to work tomorrow. Yay!
