Dual Display Question

**Opeth115** · November 26th, 2009

I have my laptop hooked up to my 19 samsung tv as a second monitor and i'm curious as if it's possible to have my gnome panel stretch across both screens, but still have anything i maximize stick to the screen that it is on.

here's my xorg.conf file as of right now...

Code:
