Yes, you can set independent resolutions and refresh rates.

There's no refresh rates for all the above modes? Strange...
The way to force a mode by default on a monitor with RandR 1.2 drivers
is described below.
You can get a modeline for 1152x864 at 60Hz (for instance) with:
$ gtf 1152 864 60
Modeline "1152x864_60.00" 81.62 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 865 868
895 -HSync +Vsync
Then if xorg.conf, you need to:
* Insert in section Device:
Option "Monitor-VGA2" "My Second Monitor"
* Add a section Monitor like below:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Second Monitor"
Modeline "1152x864_60.00" 81.62 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 865 868
895 -HSync +Vsync
Option "PreferredMode" "1152x864_60.00"
EndSection
Hope this helps. If not, please send your xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log (and
output of xrandr if different from above).
I guess there's no need to keep debian-x in CC for next messages.
