portrait mode monitor (AND)

[tleslie]

I have a nvidia 7900 GT dual dual link,
and 
i put a 30" hp and a 22" samsung on it,
and running the 30 at 2560x1600 and 22 at 1600x1200 but
 it wouldn't allow it, said 
desktop width was grater then XXXX (cant remember what it was,
but i want the 4160 wide.

Now i have the 22" at 1400x1200 (or 1280x1024), 
what i want to do is put the samsung in portrait,
but the flag (at least what i can see) applies to the
whole card and put both monitors portrait
i just want one.
i want the 30" hp to be  2560x1600 and a portrait samsung beside it
at 1200x1600, for a nice combo of 3760x1600

not sure if you will run into some of my issues, if your doing quad,
surely youll run into the width limit it did.

i gotta find out how to split the card (so to speak) and have a seperate
x.org control section for each card within the card so to speak.
