Dual Monitor Gaming Help!

Razor-BladE · 21 Jun 2009 at 14:00

So i'm wondering how to config the monitors so that i can game with it running across two monitors (so the crosshair is at the border of the screens together).
The game i'll be playing is Left 4 Dead.

I'll be running it off a laptop (1280x800), and the external monitor is a 22" (so 1680x1050).

Oh and the graphics in the lappy is the 8600M GS with an up-to-date driver.

Is it possible to do, so when i splitscreen it, it splits monitor by monitor, keeping the native resolution? Or would i have to make the external monitor 1280x800 aswell?

I've googled it but couldn't really find any answers.

Any help is appreciated

I know how to do it now, but i need a horizontal span view. In my nVidia control panel there isn't an option for this.. only dual view. Any program i can use to make it horizontal span view?

Horizontal span has not been implemented in vista

Sounds like a bad idea to me, it would be impossible to make reaction shots, you just slayer all the time. Get 3 monitors then it would be sick. Appart from models all being obese lol.
