Good morning,

quick question, i'm running 8800 gtx with two monitors one is 1920x1200 and the other is 1280x1024. I am running Twinview and as one monitor has less height i get icons displaying in an area that i can't see (unless i turn on the scrolling thingy but thats just a pain)

I can force my 1280x1024 monitor in windozs to a higher res (and it looks ok) but i was wondering if i could do the same, what with running twin view and all....

here is my xorg.conf
