Information:
Dual monitor:
(Secondary) Left: 1600x1200 (native resolution used)
(Main) Right: 1920x1200 (as native resolution, but 1280x720 mode used, for reasons long to explain here).
=> The right monitor is the one of the screenshot.

Here is the configuration used in my Xorg.conf (NVidia GTX 260 card, last stable version of the driver from nvidia.com used which is the 319.23), watch especially the "metamodes" line so:
