Dual Monitors, Different Resolutions?
 

XP SP2
GeForce 6800GT

I got a gorgeous 19in LCD for christmas, so when I got home I hooked it up + my old 17in CRT to run dual screens. The only options nVidia / nView give are Span and Clone. Clone to me is useless, and span is, well, span.

How do I get it so that I can have my 1280x1024 on the LCD on the left, and a lower resolution on the CRT on the right? I've done this before! Bah.

Thanks :)

yeah, nvidia sucks sometimes, they disable the dual view for there cheeper solutions, it is possible, but my main system is down right now and i can't check how i do it. hopefuly some one remembers how to do it with nvidia's drivers.

I noticed reduced multi-monitor options with their new interface and newest drivers. It wasn't the main problem I was fighting but when I switched back to FW 91.47 and "classic" controls the options returned. You might play around with those a bit. The 93.71 release has caused major grief.

Yeah, cost me 2 dead 6800 ultras; which I’ve battled with for over a month to get replaced and am still battleing.

weird. can't you just do it in the display propreties?
right click desktop > propreties > settings tab > and then you can play around with the 2 monitor's resolution. :)

i'm saying this because that's what i have setup as well. 6600gt with 2 17inch. i can pick the resolutions for both independently. :)

I got it to work. The problem is that my card is unable to detect monitor #2 through my KVM switch. I have to unplug it from the KVM, plug it into the back of my comp, reboot, and then move it back into the KVM. Yeah :/

oh that sucks.

Yup. Nothing is perfect, eh?

Oh well. All I have to do is just swap those real quick which isn't too much of a pain (i leave the screws loose). Now I can look at pr0n on the left while tweaking my server on the right.
