System-config-display was not very good as it only got 800x600 for one of the heads. X -configure allowed the higher resolution though it picked the nouveau driver which did not work. I had to edit it to nv which worked.
If you switch to using the 'nvidia' X driver, then running: nvidia-xconfig --twinview will give you what you want. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
