Ok, I have used nvidia drivers and settings to set up two seperate x screens and the first one is looking fine but the second one appears to be cut off about 3 inches on the right and like a inch on the bottom. Put a screen to show you guys. Any idea why it is doing this.Btw the second monitor is a 37 inch hdtv.

yes i have this problem, too.

I have two graphics: NVIDIA 7600GS and 8600GT
wide LCD asus 16:9 1400x900
normal LCD Benq 4:3 1280x1024

when i set resolution on ASUS(primary) 1400x900 then i have on BENQ(1280x1024) bottom black bar.
black bar height = BENQ 1024 - ASUS 900 = 124px

when i set resolution on BENQ(primary) 1280x1024 then i have on ASUS(1440x900) RIGHT black bar.
black bar width = ASUS 1440 - BENQ 1280 = 160px

where is problem?:(

i try install ubuntu 8.04 and i use old nvidia driver 169, then all is good, but then i try use 180 driver and black bar too... is wrong in drivers?

thnx for reply
