Metamodes and Resolutions

Take a look at this

One of the confusing things I have on my system is several ways to change screen resolution:

1. nvidia-settings (From the NVIDIA proprietary drivers, and is under Applications > System Tools >  NVIDIA X Server settings)
2. displayconfig-gtk (Under System > Administration > Screens and Graphics)
3. gnome-display-properties (Under System > Preferences > Screen Resolution)

Here’s what I’ve discovered while messing about:

Dual Monitor Gaming

The scenario:

Alright, now that I have two monitors and the basic screen stuff set up, the first thing to do is to try to get the games working.

There are a couple of possible ways to go here, where dual-monitors are the default set-up for “normal” computing: switch to one monitor only when gaming, and continue to use dual monitors.
