My question is this: I would like to have two displays (monitors) set
up like this:
I'll call them Monitor A and B. Monitor A has the middle of the
display, and Monitor B is divided into two halves, the left half being
the left part of the display (the part of the screen that's left of
Monitor A), the right part being the right part of the display(the
part of the screent that's right of Monitor A). To clarify: the two
monitors would look like this:
display sent to them would be oriented as 1 | 2 | 3 so 1 is left, 2
is center, and 3 is right.
Monitor A would show:
[ 2 ]
Monitor B would be divided in half, and show:
[1 | 3]
so the left part of the overall display would be next to the right
part of the overall display, and those two halves would be both put on
monitor B

Or just put two monitor use in Google search for those connectors.

Is there any point to having monitor B display images 1 and 3? And there is
no way you are about to write a monitor - or graphics driver for that
matter - to do that.
Just setup monitor A, B, and C like this:
[A][b][C]
Or monitors A and B like so:
[A][b]
That way you can drag a window from one screen to the other and not confuse
yourself when you move it across a split screen.

You cannot do what you are describing. Although you can have 2 monitors but not to show or work as you describe.
Having a monitor showing something on 1\2 on the screen and showing something else on the other 1\2 of the screen is not feasible with any OS. If you are thinking about the way some surveillance systems show multiple images on a screen then this is not capable of being achieved with any operating system

Actually I'm not so sure. X Server in Ubuntu *might* actually be flexible
enough to do such a crazy thing. You can specify starting offsets in
pixels IIRC, which is the first thing you'd need to do something like that.
The second thing you'd need is to be able to specify that you only want to
use a certain width / height of the target screen's resolution. That's the
part I'm not sure if it can do it. I'd need to read up on it and I'm not
in the mood for that. Plus even if so, it'd not help the OP much as it
isn't Vista specific. =)

You might be able to do it with enough mirrors - like at the fun house.
Are you trying to drive your spouse off the sauce?
How do I do this (make a monitor driver?)?
