Strange X behaviour

I'm experiencing some interesting things when X starts. I have a dual-screen
setup I recently upgraded to KDE4.3.1.

When X starts, KDM is showed on the side of the screen. It seems like it's
cut off in the middel and my desktop can scroll to the side (like having a
virtual desktop).

When KDE starts, the display returns to normal, but the screens are cloned
and the desktop size is exactly the resolution size.

If I log out of KDE, kdm shows up split across my two monitors and when i
log in KDE uses the screens like I had one with w*2xh resolution.

I guess kdm is calling some XrandR functions when I log out, but how do I
find out what and get it to do so at the start?

I'm using the ati-driver for my Radeon HD 2400 XT

Sorry if my description is a bit unclear.

Regards
Dirk
