I have a gateway fx laptop, with intel core2 Duo 2,3g/hz, 4G ram, Nvidia Geforce 9800M gts (1gb).  It run under Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits with de Nvidia driver version 180.  I want it to use two screen, with different resolution.  I want want my first one to be my Sony Bravia LCD 32" screen, pluged HDMI, with 1280 * 720 resolution (widescreen) and my second screen to be my laptop screen, wich is 17" set in 1440 * 900.  I like to work on graphical program with my image on the big screen and the tool on the small one.  
Now I got my two screen kind of working.  The big one only display a part of the desktop.  I can't see any panel, or toolbar or top of any window. 
 I can't slide my mouse to my big screen.  But, if I open a window, sometime it will open on the big screen, in this case, I can go to the panel of my small screen, right click on the name of the window, click move and then my mouse cursor is on the big screen.  Then I can take it back to the small one just by scrolling.  I can slide window to my big screen, but not my mouse cursor.  
If I press full screen on a window in my big screen, all the top and bottom of the window are out of screen.
If I bring my cursor all the way up, out of screen of the big one, I can just go a little down to see it again.  This seem to mean the screen give a limit to the cursor (it's just a few pixel off).
I have spend tree day, looking up on the Internet for similar problem or, wich would be better, solution.  Can't find any.  All what I've seen and try, didn't work.

I know this is a lot of problem, If any one can help me solve some, I will most please.

I copy here my XORG.CONF
