...or use side monitors with dual inputs.

Works great, thanks !

Hum, thanks for that great advice. It works for me almost fine.

My Problem here is,

my native TFT Resolution is 1680*1050, before using triplehead i did play at this.

my question is now:

when trying to create a display setup for this resolution i recognized, 1680*1050 is not listed as resolution. i tried the slider from left to right, its not shown there, and the next i thought was, setting up a custom resolution with nvidia driver, but i got the message that 1680*1050 60hz or 57hz failed.

any advice how i can set up or force a custom resolution ^^ or any advice of getting rid of this small problem :)
i would prefer when playing on 1 screen to use 1680*1050 instead of the now only possible 1280*800...

thnx alot

@ Falke ...
You lost me ...
Are you saying you can get 5040x1050 but not 1680x1050 ?

@ Tulamat ...
Did you get it working ?

yes exactly
-5040*1050 works
-1680*1050 not!
-1280*800 works (but its not the tft native resolution)

when using the vista /nvidia slider to change the desktop resolution 1680*1050 isnt selectable anymore, it steps from 1440 * ??? to 21?? * ????

and trying to add 1680*1050 as custom resolution gives a blackscreen which changes after the 15 seconds to the normal desktop with the error message of "test failed" or something like that. so i cant force to add this resolution.

i can try to make some screenshots this evening if thats better :)

In Display Properties ... Settings ... what Display is listed ? (Below the box showing the large monitor (1) and just above the Screen Resolution)
