My current setup consists of two different monitors (different resolutions) being connected to a single Nvidia card (neouveau driver).
The problem is that the monitor resolution does not change when I use xrandr to change the resolution. What does happen is the resolution of the output changes so that all items on the screen are smaller, but as a consequence of the monitor resolution staying constant (at 1440x900) this also leads to everything getting blury.
Output for xrandr after booting:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 360mm x 290mm
1440x900 60.2*+
1920x1080 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1360x768 60.4
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
DVI-I-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Output after changing the resolution to 1920x1080:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 360mm x 290mm
1440x900 60.2 +
1920x1080 60.0*
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1360x768 60.4
1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
DVI-I-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
I have set up both of these monitors to work fine today, except for the resolution problem. The DVI-I-2 seen has a maximum resolution of 1440x900, which is what both monitiors are running at although DVI-I-1 has a max of 1920x1080.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to succeed in setting DVI-I-1 to the desired resolution?

Is your GPU in the green and "BIOS" on the Dual thinghie? If not, you should probably be using the nvidia package instead of Nouveau.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Yes, GPU support for dual head is there. I think I will try out the Nvidia drivers.
Edit: I have installed the Nvidia driver and everything is working perfectly. Thanks for your suggestion.
