LinuxQuestions.org - Dual Screen - Resolution Problems

I'm stumped folks. I did some research and after about two days of trouble-shooting, I sucessfully got dual screen setup working on FC2. I have a nVidia GeForce6 series card installed. The dual screen setup not the problem though. My problem is the software running on it. When running software which requires full screen view, the resolution is always setup as 2048x768 (Note: That is 1024 times 2 at the same vertical 2*(1024) x 768). So guess what happens? The program starts on the right side of the first screen, and on the left side of the second screen, causing the center of the program to be split into two between the two screens. When your playing a game in OpenGL, that is a no no!

What I'm trying to do is setup the dual screens the way I currently have it setup, but allow a program to run on only one screen, instead of using both.

Please note for those who don't know much about nVidia; the dual screen setup is NOT done through scripting within the ServerLayout Section.

Here's my xorg.conf file:
