kdemod 4.2 with dual head

I want to use dual head setting in kde 4.2 but it has bunch of issues. When in kde4 i issue the command

xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS

, it enable the dual head setup but the resolution defaults to 1024x768 for both my monitor and Laptop. When I change the resolution to the correct ones from the kde4 display setting in control panel, it screws up the dual head setup and the screens starts overlapping.

Has anyone managed to set dual  head on kde4.

Two weeks late, but anyway...
You can set the position for the second monitor too.

xrandr --output DVI-0 --pos 1680x0

This works for my setup. The systemsettings xrandr module doesn't, how am I supposed to use that?
