Hi all, I'm a bit new to the boards, but I find alot of folks running dual monitors that are setup as (for instance in my case) two 19" panels at 1280x1024. I am more interested in having one single desktop instead of two. In other words, I'm looking for 2560x1024 instead of 2 1280x1024's. I have searched the forums and I have not found any good information. The intel 945GM docs say the resolution is possible, but I have not been able to find a way to coax it out of my laptop. Any ideas? Thank you.

Do you want to

a) Run a single monitor at 2560x1024 resolution,
OR
b) Run two monitors in a way that the computer treats them as a single monitor (so the taskbar stretches across both screens)?

To run this do you need 2 DVI?
