With a little cajoling and much patience I have convince my new employer to provide me with a two monitor set up. I had this in a previous position and I experienced to flavors. One was what I understand is called "dual" where you have a primary and secondary monitor. The other was I understand is called "span" where the system considers you to have one wide screen monitor. I slightly prefer this latter option, but I am no experienced enough to know if I can set my self up that way. Anybody know in good brains, blogs, documentation to pick to understand the whys and wherefores of Span versus Dual?
A bit of systems information if it helps. Gateway Intel Desktop with Intel Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family. Two gateway 17" flat screen displays. One is connected to the display card as a 'monitor' and the other as a 'digital' display. There is apparently an 'Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver' plug-in installed into the display properties. With this tool I was able to create an interesting effect of turning my monitors sideways. So instead of two 1280x1024(wider then tall) displays I am currently experimenting with two 1024x1280 (taller then wide) displays. I think this could be kind of cool in span mode so that my task bar would span both monitors and be 2048 pixels wide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
