Max Boivin is still having a problem:
I have try to clean up my xorg.conf and solve some problem.  Here the situation now.  
I have set my two screen with separate X screen, no Xinerama, I don't really like Xinerama, it doesn't seem to do any good.  The resolution on the big screen look fantastic, and I got no problem with the laptop screen.  The problem is, on the big screen, the desktop is too big.  Every time I maximise a window, the top, bottom and side disappear out of the screen.  Yet, the resolution of this screen is set to is native one, it just seem to not fit.  I can of course patch the problem by adding some panel to "crop" the screen but when I go to real fullscreen (like, when I'm watching a movie) I lose all the edge of the image.

I also have a minor problem with the touchpad.  I can't put my cursor on
my big screen.  If my cursor is on the big screen, I can drag it back to
the laptop screen, no prob' but the opposite doesn't work.  This problem
does not apply to my usb mouse.  It can go from one screen to another
quite smoothly, so I guess this is no big deal.

So here is the real problem : The image cast on my secondary screen (big
flat panel widescreen tv) is... too big and does not fit all on the
screen.

Copy of my xorg:
