Noted. both my monitors are 75hz and capable of variable refresh rate, so in theory they don't need to have different refresh rates for my setup, but I imagine playing games and watching a video might throw a slight wrench in that. Just out of curiosity for my options, would plugging my second monitor directly into my Mother board help mitigate any issues on that front (instead of having both plugged into my GPU)?
it's not a setup issue, it's a hard limit of xorg. maybe having two xservers may help, but then you wouldn't be able to move windows between them. the way multiple monitors are done using x is that they're treated as one continuous screen, but that means it can get a bit wacky because they're not the same.
Ah, makes sense. I kinda figured it wouldn't be that easy to solve, but I had hope that it might have a 'cheap' workaround.
