1680x1050 + 1280x1024

I've got the monitors functional for basic use. However, I am building this setup for dual-screen WoW play. WoW gets its resolution information from Windows.

My current setup is that each monitor is configured individually. Works for everything but WoW.

If I tell the Nvidia control panel to stretch the screen across, I get (2x 1280)x1024. The proportions are off on the widescreen.

I've also tried running WoW in window mode. When I pulled the screen across to the other monitor, the ratio was way off and it looked the same as when I tried (2x 1280)x1024.

How do I tell Windows/Nvidia to display 2960x1024?
If I can do that, WoW should recognize that resolution and display properly.

IIRC, you can't do spans in XP with different resolutions on each display. Softth might be able to do it, though (not sure how/if it will work with only 2 screens).
