I'm having real trouble getting different resolutions in a cloned twinview environment. The problem is that both screens get the same size on the virtual desktop, the higher size of the two resolutions. This is my xorg.conf when I run both screens at 1280x1024 and that works just fine, but I want to run 1920x1080 on the LCD-TV since it's capable of it.

Now if I change MetaModes line to use 1920x1080 on the TV like this:
Quote:
Option "MetaModes" "CRT-0: 1280x1024@1280x1024, DFP-0: 1920x1080@1920x1080"

the problem is as I said that the virtual desktop on both screens run at 1920x1080.
This is the log:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080


Is it even possible to achieve what I'm looking for using Twinview=clone ?
