I'm back on arch for this one after a long gentoo break. When I was using it I had the following xorg.conf file and a nvidia 9600gt to power the monitors.

Now I have some board with integrated nvidia 7100 graphics that I know can do this dual monitor configuration, but it will not. It puts the left (rotated) monitor at a resolution of 1024*768 but does get it rotated. When it does this, I cannot get the mouse to leave that monitor though nvidia-settings does say it is on and working. Beyond that of having the wrong resolution it is identified as a CRT monitor and will not let me, manually or with the GUI, give it the proper resolution.
