I am running 8.2 with xinerama, and it worked out of the box with kde 3.0.2 packages. The X configurator asked me if I wanted xinerama version or just plain screen (Matrox G550). The boxes are of course grayed out if the xinerama is not enabled on the server itself. In kde xinerama options only tell the window manager to be aware of xinerama and make more intelligent window placement decisions. Even without that, you should be have two screens up and running and you should be able to move windows across the two screens at will. Teemu
