I've got two 19" monitors hooked via DVI to a GeForce 7900 GS. I had previously been using an ATI x300 with a dongle to split the single DVI port in two, but on the 7900, it just has two DVI ports.
ATI's hardware/software allowed for Windows to see the two separate monitors and treat them as such - so I was able to have the double sized desktop, but I could still confine windows to a single monitor. Unfortunately, nvidia doesn't seem to have that ability, so windows only sees a single uber monitor, and its driving me nuts that when I try to maximize a window, it takes up the entirety of both monitors, which makes it incredibly difficult to do just about everything, and also defeats the purpose for which I have multiple monitors in the first place.
I've tried finding desktop managers to duplicate this functionality, but everything I've found is complete crap in one way or another. Anyone have any suggestions?
