What are the 17s? 1280x1024? That's 1 310 720 each, or 2 621 440 for both.
One 1680x1050 is 1 764 000, around 1/3 less. So I dunno about your plan.

It took me a while to get these two (same res, same size, different brands)
working in Ubuntu also. I mean, if I did it the quick-and-dirty way it was

to do it all again.
