Xinerama problem

[countcobolt]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to set up a multihead system, but as you might think , are experiencing a few problems.
When starting the XFree86 I actually are having my 2 screens, but on my second screen I don't have a full screen with the X on it. Instead I just see a part off the screen. As if the X isn't really in the middle of my screen
I'll try to draw it

This is a bit like the layout I get on my second screen.
I can get the second card (an S3 trio 32/64) perfectly running on its own. My other card (Geforce MX 100/200) Is running good separatly and with Xinerama.
I have the following configuration
For my geforce alone:

Hope someone can help me. read a lot off tutorials, didn't help, tried a lot of things, didn't work, nearly running crazy, won't help
I am using a Mandrake 8.2 with XFree86 4.2.0 configuration.
And starting X with xinerama in it. My proview screen is 19" the second 14".

This could just be a guess, but It seems like running the same resolutions on different size monitors could be a problem.

It may cause "dead spots," but try running the Proview with a higher resolution than the smaller one. It's just a suggestion, so I don't know if it will do...
