This is really helpful. I bought a 2405FPW a few months ago which my 
wife instantly appropriated for herself. She runs it with a smaller 17" 
monitor so she has two monitors connected to the same video card. When 
she wassn't using her machine, I would fire up Fedora Core 4 x86_64 and 
it recognized the dual monitors but would only run them at 800X600. I 
then turned on the "Dual Head" feature of the Display Settings applet 
and this changed xorg.conf in such a way that the X server wouldn't 
start. I just upgraded her machine to FC5 and restored the backup 
xorg.conf file so I'm back to 800X600 and 2 monitors. I'm going to try 
the Nvidia driver and sample with the modelines given above.

Wide monitors are productive for my wife -- she gets a lot more work 
done. I'm planning to order myself a Dell flat panel for Christmas. My 
19" ViewSonic CRT is strictly for the birds. Like the 3 who make up the 
ViewSonic logo.
