Thread: xorg.conf setting up native resolution 1900x1200 & dual monitor

-

i need correctly setting xorg.conf file

laptop screen has 1900x1280 (native resolution)
, second monitor has 1600x1080

after browsing forums , messing around drivers managed resolution 1600x1080 (from 1000x800 @ install) on laptop screen. no luck @ second monitor. have connected both vga , dvi.

understanding need use twin view setup second monitor. i've read several of earlier posts haven't been able work. here current xorg.conf file:

code:
section "monitor"     # horizsync source: edid, vertrefresh source: edid     identifier "configured monitor"     vendorname "unknown"     modelname "crt-0"     horizsync 28.0 - 64.0     vertrefresh 43.0 - 88.0     option "dpms" endsection  section "monitor"     # horizsync source: edid, vertrefresh source: edid     identifier     "monitor0"     vendorname     "unknown"     modelname      "samsung syncmaster"     horizsync       27.0 - 81.0     vertrefresh     50.0 - 75.0     option         "dpms" endsection  section "screen"     identifier    "screen1"     monitor        "configured monitor0"     device        "configured video device"     option "twinview"                               # enables twinview         option "twinviewxineramainfoorder" "screen1, monitor0"   # tells output should primary screen x         option "metamodes" "1680x1050 1280x1024"        # change resolutions here fit displays         option "twinvieworientation" "screen1 leftof monitor0"   # how second screen placed in relation first 1                                                     # leftof can leftof, rightof, above, below, , clone endsection  section "device"     identifier    "configured video device"     driver        "vesa"     option    "nologo"    "true" endsection

i've made more progress.

copied elses xorg.conf file had similar setup , had success.

xorg.conf file managed to

1) second monitor working

but, overlapped first in strange way

2) laptop monitor resolution around 1900x1200

again, overlap

3) , orientation backwards. i've read can fix use of "right of" , left of" unable work despite following tread mimic

4) , huge drawback lost both top , bottom taskbars


think 1 of reasons worked because of "nvidia auto select" part i'm not sure how fix problems i've encountered.
