Problem with 2 screen on debian.


Hello
I have debian 2.6.32 lenny.
Code:
Linux Miros-main 2.6.32-trunk-686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 06:32:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
My graphic card is nvidia.
Code:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1)
I have my two screens in dual view.
screen0
screen1
It mean I can see different things on my two screens.
I change my screen2 with another bigger and now I have a littel problem.
A part of the desktop is superimposed on the both screen.
I mean: about 200px are duplicated in the screen1 and screen2
Understand? (Sorry my bad English)
A screenshot doesnot help to explain it.
If I have some window in the right side in screen0, a part of it appears in the left side on screen1. And vice versa.

Code:
------------------------------------
-               ***-***            -
-               ***-***            -
- screen0       ***-***     screen1-
-               ***-***            -
-               ***-***            -
-               ***-***            -
-               ***-***            -
------------------------------------
