Do they have to be the same resolution? As in can I have a 22inch wide screen and a normal 19inch running dual monitors?

Thanks

That works just fine, however sometimes depending on the card/drivers it may want to keep them both at the same res. I remember having issues with this with nvidia's new control panel versus the old. There are reghacks that enable the old control panel in the new drivers, and with those it is quite easy to have heterogenous resolutions on multiple monitors.

Not sure why jaqie was having issues, but i've been running dual displays with different resolutions for years now with both nV & ATi...

*shrug* I dont know either, but the new CP for nvidia wanted to force them to the same refresh rate and res nomatter what I tried, until I went back to the old CP which it worked first time every time on.
