dual screen - 2nd screen size wrong - SOLVED

I have the following problem and I cannot figure out a way to fix it.

I succesfully set up my xorg.conf for dual monitor use.

I have a "Samsung X10plus" Laptop with a Nvidia 5200go and I am using the TFT of my Laptop as the primary Monitor and a LG 901B as the second Monitor (see line 154,123 of xorg.conf).

My Problem is !!!

The second screen is just too big.
My Desktop(KDE) does not fit in the monitor (LG 901B).

Isn't there any command that sets the width and higth of the monitor so the size of the desktop will fit in the window of the monitor?

I really hope somebody is able to help me very soon, otherwise I will go nuts...!

Thanks
Smooph

OK the answer is simply adding one line in the xorg.conf

Just add this line to the Section "Device" (the 1st one)

Source code

 
1

  Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200-1024x768"

and everything will run perfectly.

Of course this only works if your Display is able to run in 1600x1200 mode.
