noveau, dual head, different resolutions-both are the same repeated

I just made the switch from nvidia to nouveau in the hope of getting the dual head thing working with 2 differing screen sizes

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf:

 
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "laptop"
    Option "PrefferedMode" "1680x1050_60.00"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "CRT"
    Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768_60.00"
    Option "LeftOf" "LVDS-1"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia card"
    Driver "nouveau"
    Option "Monitor-DVI-I-1" "CRT"
    Option "Monitor-LVDS-1" "laptop"
EndSection

you can see in the screeny thatthe two seem overlayed on each other:

I imagine I'm going to be embarrassed when I work this out, I'm used to nvidia settings under xmonad, just using xfce now for the added qui's [which didn't help]

Re: noveau, dual head, different resolutions-both are the same repeated

Nvidia handles 2 screens with different res just fine. Simply enable twinview.
