I've got a question that some other player might have as well.
I have dual screen set up and I know I can play layonara on both screens if I choice to. wich in my case would mean I can play layo at on both screen with each screen having a resolution of 1680 x 1050. which gives me a total resolution of 3360 x 1050.
the Problem is. The character always ends up at the split of both screen making it very annoying to play. Now I know there is a way around it since I read about it in that development (http://devlog.layonara.com/) log of Orth. I'm just going to need help with it.
anyone willing to help out?

Well, orth's "hack" / work-around for the problem of the avatar being split was to use window mode and make the resolution one step less than your actual screen width; then, all you need to do is shift the window to the left (or right) screen and voila, your avatar is on one screen while still giving you some of that good 'ol extra space on the opposing screen.
I'm not sure how well this works with Neverwinter Nights but it works fine of the MMO though no one but orth would really be able to attest to that hehe ;)

You need to use windowed mode, then just set your NWN resolution to something smaller then 3360x1050 but larger then just one monitor (2880x900,2464x768 ) and position the window to the left edge of the left monitor, or right edge of the right monitor to have the player show up fully in one monitor.
I'm not sure if NWN will show each of those resolutions available in Windows, I see them in Linux though. Perhaps they can be forced by editing the nwn.ini file directly, again not sure.
Edit: Yeah what St8 said
