It's been my experience that dual, tri and even quad monitor setups just "work" these days. Though I did hit a funny one the other day, I had a co-worker who discovered that the the maximum number of xterms he could have running was ~240.
I pointed out that gterm/mterm or any of the other tabable terminals don't suffer this limitation but he's old school and wants to use xterm... It should be noted he also actively uses more than 36 desktop pages as well where these windows were strewn across.

Restarting the display manager fixed it.

I picked up a free monitor today, a Samsung S24C230L.  The native resolution is 1920x1080, and it's connected via DVI.  The existing monitor has a native resolution of 1680x1050 and is plugged into the analog VGA port.  The NVIDIA X Server Settings seem to agree, so what's up with the display on the second monitor?
When I try saving the X Configuration File, it warns me that I should use relative positioning for the second display, instead of absolute positioning.  Maybe that's the problem, but I can't find that setting anywhere.

Got any ideas?
