Hello

For some KDE hacking I used the kdesrc-build script for build kde with some 
additional modules.
It checked out the default branch (Platform Version 4.7.41 (4.7.41 (KDE 4.8 >= 
20110807)).

For successfully building I used this patch 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=131659965707511&w=2 
Else I made no changes to the sources.

My system configuration is a AMD Radeon with fglrx driver, latest version.

xrandr -q says this (xorg.conf is at the end):

CRT1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


Now I have two problems, a big one and a small one.

My first problem is that when I maximizing a window it is stretch over both 
monitors and not only the active one.
Working with such a configuration is horrible! :)
The second one is that the wallpaper is stretch over both screens, but this is 
only a minor problem.

I tested it with KDE 4.6 and KDE 4.7.1 and both versions works without these 
problems.
But these packages are from the distributor (Debian and Arch Linux) and not 
self compiled.

I had similar problems with KDE 4.2 and 4.3, but with 4.4 they were gone.

As much as I know there are much changes in the coming 4.8 version targeting a 
better multi monitor support.
Too I found the information that plasma-desktop should be the part which is 
regulating this, right?

Maybe someone know where I have to screw to get things working again?
Or at which modules I can have a look to debug it?


Kind regards
Manuel Gysin
