 My xorg.conf? what do I have to change?


IN /etc/X11/xorg.conf   look that the file. Near the bottom,
you'll find a  screen section:

snip
Section Screen
Identifier  Screen0
Device  Card0
Monitor Monitor0
DefaultColorDepth 24
SubSection Display
Depth   1
Modes  1440x900 1024x768
EndSubSection
SubSection Display
Depth   4
Modes 1440x900 1024x768
EndSubSection
end/snip

You may have to revisit some of your drivers in your kernel, depending
on how your kernel is configured, but may not also.

I'd save an old copy of anything you modify, so as to make
recovery from mistakes, easy

I tried with an ordinary CRT monitor, and it didn't work. Do i need to
have anything installed? Is xinerama necessary?

Thanks

It won't work because the Screen section below specifies only one screen 
Screen 0.  You need to also setup Screen 1 with the required resolution, 
otherwise the resolution of your monitor would be replicated at the second 
screen output.  The bind together the setup for the second screen in 
the ServerLayout section.  I really think you should read man xorg.conf.

PS.  Can you please stop top-posting.

 Thanks
