[NTLUG:Discuss] Help with xorg.conf Settings?!

[David Simmons]

With a recent Kernel upgrade on a SuSE 10.1 system - the time came to
recompile the NVidia driver...that process went well!?  Once logged into -
setup the system with DualHead as one large screen (1280x1024)

I have two idential monitors - one is at 85Hz refresh - the other is at
60Hz (according to the monitor menus - and my eyes because of the flicker)

Since it's configured as one large screen - why are the resolutions
different?

Either way...here's the xorg.conf file - any help would be great - Thanks!
