Re: Someone else is having the same exact problem...
Yup, though I'm finding it's very much driver related. That post is for an Intel 945 chip, although it's interesting that they both have similar issues despite being completely separate in every other way.
The NVIDIA drivers are definitely capable of setting things up better than the Windows Display Properties control panel. I just tried what the poster above wanted (two displays running at a very high resolution) and the NVIDIA drivers are quite happy with it. I have the 2407WFP running at 1920x1200x32bit and the laptop display at 1280x800x32bit at the same time.
It's not without its annoyances, but it's getting pretty good. Top of the list for me would be to have the driver remember the chosen resolution for each monitor that you connect (I use different external monitors at work and at home). Next would be to let you choose how multi-monitors are laid out like the Windows Display Properties does.
