Oops, overlooked that line.... Well if that's 66cm, that must be
wrong.... Should i set up it by had with yast?, i'll better look for
the specs of the laptop....

You can do a quick and dirty fix on this if you're comfortable editing
by hand...
- Measure the physical dimensions of your monitor (use a ruler, tape
measure etc. or get it from the monitor spec sheet if you have it)
- Log out of KDE
- Log in as root (in a terminal, not in a GUI)
- Switch to run level 3 (init 3)
- Backup your existing xorg.conf (just in case)
- Use your favorite text editor, and edit xorg.conf
- Change the DisplaySize setting to match the actual (measured)
dimensions of your monitor screen
- Save, and test by restarting X (eg switch to a second terminal, log
in as user and use startx to launch KDE.. if you have any errors they
will be show in the terminal... or just switch back to run level 5)

You can do the same through YAST (SAX2) if you prefer. I'd still
recommend backing up your existing working xorg.conf first.

If it works, you know you're on the right track (if it fails, it's a
simple matter of restoring your xorg.conf backup to get back to where
you were)... next test is make sure that your dual head stuff still
works as expected. Just guessing here, but It's possible that the odd
monitor dimension was set that large by SAX when you set up your dual
head stuff.
