If I recall correctly (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!), KDE4's
support for randr 1.2 is not complete at the moment. It certainly
doesn't do anything good with clone mode -- you end up with two
overlapping copies of your desktop. I think I did get close to having
it work with side-by-side displays (Intel graphics), but it took some
trial-and-error. I should try again more systematically.

Tell me more about this trial and error effort: were you using the randr command or a gui tool? Is there any place I can go to see what the support for randr 1.2 will be when it is complete in a F9 KDE4 spin? I am striving to understand what the KDE model for F9 will be in order to set up external monitors, if only to test that it does the intended job. I'll go back and read the F9 RandR feature description but somehow I suspect it will not provide that information.

Thanks,
