Hi Guys,

I wonder if anyone can shed light, I have almost the identical problem. But with a tiny twist!
* ATI Graphics card
* KDE 4.3
* Del optiplex

Output of xrandr:

When I run the gnome settings daemon and the gnome display properties app to get my dual monitor support I see the familiar gnome properties app (which all works fine under gnome), but when I de-select 'Mirror Screens', then identify the monitors (which still works fine) then hit apply I get the error:

Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist

I also noticed that under gnome you have a small green and red box, one on each screen identifiying the screen types (i.e. dell 20" and philips 20"). However when I run the app in KDE 4.3 each monitor shows both red and green boxes. One on top of the other!

I'd appreciate any help! I've been surfing forums for housrs trying to get this sorted.

Kind regards, Nicholas.
