I have an NVidia GEforce 6800 with two monitors attached. One is a widescreen, hooked up with a DVI cable, at 1680x1050, and the other is hooked up with a VGA cable and set at 1280x1024. They are working, but there are two issues I'd like to resolve.
According to KDE, the CRT is #1 and the DVI is #2 (or 0 and 1 in xorg.conf). I've swapped the connections on the card and tried to specify the monitors differently in the MetaMode option in xorg.conf, but it makes no difference. I've seen a few issues with this. For instance, when I'm in Konqueror and click on a folder of bookmarks, the drop down menu from that always appears on display 0, which is the older monitor. I can understand there are some glitches and if I'm going to deal with them, I'd rather have the widescreen, my main monitor, recognized as the first screen. The other issue is one I don't think there's a resolution for. Using a vertical resolution of 1050 on the widescreen and 1024 for the vertical resolution of 1024 for the "regular" monitor leaves a deadspace of 26 pixels on the regular monitor. I know I can pan on that, but seeing anything on that screen move up and down as I move the cursor is very distracting. Ideally, I'd like to set the resolution on that monitor at 1312x1050 instead of 1280x1024. I've tried it and the monitor doesn't display a thing. 1) Is there a way to tell my NVidia card or xorg.conf to recognize the widescreen as my first screen? 2) Is there anything I can do to get an LCD monitor to work with a non-standard resolution like 1312x1050?
