Dean, You need to recompile the kdelibs package. When you are recompiling it, ensure that --enable-xinerama is passed to the configure script. If that does not help, contact me off the list and I will try to help you. Balaji On Friday 12 July 2002 14:34 pm, Dean S. Messing wrote: Todd

Where did you get your KDE rpms? If it is MDK's it should have Xinerama support compiled by default and the Enable Xinerama Support option should not be grayed out. If it is, then I would suggest that you recompile the RPMS and ensure that the --enable-xinerama option is turned on. Balaji

This is a known problem with KDE3, the workaround is to delete the Konsole icon from the kpanel bar and start it from the menu, or to make a shortcut for it on the desktop, this should be fixed later on in a subsequent release of KDE3.X On Friday 07 June 2002 4:23 pm, Praedor Tempus wrote:
