I am trying to set up a dual monitor desktop, with a 19" LED monitor, and a 15" CRT monitor, and have done so, using nvidia-settings to write to my xorg.conf. However, the problem I am now dealing with is that the two monitors have slightly different heights. How can I edit xorg.conf so that it takes this into account. My current xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"

    Screen      1  "Screen1" 0 0

Also, I am using CentOS 6.2. Kernel version 2.6.32, GNOME 2.28.2. I have a NVIDIA 8400GS card, with a DVI and VGA output being used.

In nvidia-settings, I suggest you try forcing 'Stretched' GPU Scaling in the Flat Panel settings.

You can also try adjusting the OverScan compensation as well.
