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.
