Dual screens with different resolutions


Ok, I've got my ATI Radeon 9600 sort of working (i don't think I have 3d acceleration yet :| ) and I've used the fglrxconfig tool to set up my system for dual monitors.

The problem, though, is that my secondary monitor is an older model that doesn't support resolutions over 1024x768 very well. The screen is viewable but it's squished down and really tiny.

What I'm wondering is, is there a way to get Linux to apply 2 different resolutions, one to each monitor. I'd like my primary to be running at 1280x1024 and my secondary to run at 1024x768. I know this is possible in Windows, but what about Mandrake?

Let me know.
