I switched to KDE after having to rebuild. I have two monitors, both of which are Acer x193w+. When I had this machine running in Gnome, I used the following Xorg.conf file and simply unchecked the mirror screen tick in the display settings. However, in KDE there's no similiar option under the System Settings > Display option. It detects both screens as the same one and even goes so far as to say that when I select "Detect Screens".
I tried this:
xrandr --output monitor0 --auto --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output monitor1 --auto -rotate normal --right-of monitor0
...but it just returned the output of xrandr -h
Here is my xorg.conf file:

I set the Virtual as double both measurements like last time. I've fallen short of ideas here... Any input would be super appreciated.
I just ran xrandr and this is the output:

I'm certain it's the problem, but I'm not certain how to fix it.

Well unless I'm mistaken the root of the problem is that KDE doesn't support dual head cards the way I intended.
A problem solved is a problem solved I suppose.
