Dual Monitor - Dual Desktop - Dual Resolution w/ Desktop X
Saturday, August 28, 2004 by Metamorphic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I run 2 Monitors with different resolutions and have it configured to allow different wallpapers on each monitor, but it runs as 1 large desktop.
Anyways When I try to use desktop X it has problems with the different resolutions on the different monitors. It centers the desktop on the larger resolution monitor, but has odd shadow effects that leaves ghost images around the small desktop area. As well I am unable to get the "start menu" to dock on the monitor on the left where I want it, it keeps docking on the right side of the right monitor.
Any ideas on what I can do to get it so I can get objects to dock on the left side of the left monitor and keep my resolutions the way they are?

I use the nView software for nVIDIA cards. There's also
UltraMon, that
works with all graphics cards. UltraMon has some nice features, but is a bit too
pricey IMHO.

Ahhh - that explains it. Unfortunately we have ATI cards - I'll have to check into the ATI control to see if it has the same features. Never occurred to me to look there as most of that stuff is useless.
