Duel monitor xpsM1330, is this possible?


ok, Just got 2 new kick ... 24' ultra sharp's and conncting to the laptop. I had 3 22's connected to a matrox triple-head-to-go but the resolution was just not cutting it. Well I read and realized the Dell can do both the VGA and HDMI so that is what I did this morning, nvidia-settings showed them both and I set them up and both are now running in 1920x1080 and they look great, except I cant move apps from screen 1 to screen 2. The mouse goes over fine, but if I start an app on one monitor it's stuck there.

The current options when you select configure are;
Diabled / Sepeate X and Twinview. Twinview I assume is just a mirror which I don't want, just not sure if it's possible or not.

Thanks

*sigh* and a checkbox fixed it all. Never knew what Xinerama was/is but that little checkbox did it's job well! Thanks for the oversight on my part.
