This is a suggestion and a followup question (all in one):
* Why not keep the 15" monitor for the 2nd screen instead of buying
two?
The question is, my son had a setup like this (with 17" and 15" (CRT)
monitors), with (iirc) 1024x768 resolution on the 17" and 800x600
resolution on the 15". The disappointing thing was that the 15" monitor
behaved as a virtual window (i.e., an 800x600 window on a 1024x768
screen, requiring scrolling to see the entire window). I assume there's
a way to make the 15" monitor a real 800x600 screen (no scrolling) but
we never found it. Can anybody confirm there is a way to do that?
Hints on how?
