Hello,
I have an LCD with 1280x1024 native resolution. I plan to buy a new widescreen
LCD with 1680x1050 resolution, to use in dual-head configuration. I have
NVidia GeForce FX 5200, with VGA and DVI output to drive them, by plugging
one LCD to VGA and the other one to DVI port.
Is it possible to use this setup, and have the card drive the monitors with
different resolution ? I'm using NVidia proprietary driver.
Yes, it's possible. Use the nVidia Display Settings in the System Tools.
(That's where it is for me on F8, with drivers installed from Livna.) I
believe you'll have to save the xorg.conf to a user-writable directory,
then copy it over as root, though.
Do yourself a favor and make a backup of your existing xorg.conf first
though! :)
