If your running wow across only two monitors, you dont need to use softTH. via your graphics card you can merge the monitors to one big monitor @ 3380x1050 (one continuous display). Only need SofTH if you are running three monitors or more

[config]
; deviceIDLeft/right: Direct3D device ID's of left and right monitor, or 'auto' for automatic
; secondaryWidth/Height: Left & right monitor resolution, or 'auto' to use same as middle screen resolution
; secondaryRefresh: Refresh rate of left & right monitors, or 'auto' for automatic
; secondaryFormat: Secondary device image format, 'RGB32', 'RGB16' or 'YUV12'.
; antialiasing: Level of forced anti-aliasing
; anisotropic: Level of forced anisotropic filtering
; borderSize: Size in pixels of frame border between monitors that is discarded
; noHotkeys: Set to 1 to disable all hotkeys

[Direct3D]
; ** Advanced setting for Direct3D games **
; cylindicalCorretionAngle: Amount of cylindrical correction done, use with sideExtraWidth
; hideNondefaultDevices: Hides all but the default adapter from the game
; forceHorizontalFOV: Forces horizontal FOV to be three times as wide
; forceResolutionWidth/Height: Forces device to be created with this resolution
; force16bitDepth: Force game to use 16bit depth buffer, can improve performance and reduce memory use
; sleepBeforeRead: Time in ms to sleep before reading back buffer data from video card
; useMultihead: Uses multihead features of primary card if available, can increase performance and reduce memory use
; Set to 2 to force multihead initialization even if game doesn't create device with TH resolution
; delayedPresent: When useMultihead enabled, delay primary monitor present to sync with secondary head
; swapOrder: Swap order at which the frame contents are copied
; autoSquash: Automatically squash output to middle monitor if only pretransformed (GUI) elements are drawn
; d3d8dll: Path to D3D8.dll/D3D9.dll to use or auto for automatic (system32 dir)

[hooks]
; Win32 API hooking settings - Used for some extra compatibility and game-specific fixes
; doHooking: Enable/disable hooks in Direct3D, with OpenGL hooks are always enabled
; doScaleMouseCoordinates: Scale mouse coordinates for getCursorPos to fix games which do not handle negative screen coordinates properly
; doScaleFromLeftScreen: Spread out mouse coordinates from left screen to full width
; doScaleWindowRects: Scale game window rectangle to triplehead size
; mouseXoffset: Number of pixels to offset mouse cursor position in X axis, to fix misplaced cursor due to negative screen coordinates. auto = use X resolution

Also be sure to edit your WTF.conf file and add 5040x1050 to your resolution if thats the resolution that you wanna run
Sorry I don't have much to offer in the way of solutions, but I have a question. Wouldn't running a game on 2 screens split your avatar down the middle? Is that a workable way to play?
Generally dual-screen gaming presents that problem, which is why a lot of people don't do it. With two projectors it can be a workable solution, though.
You generally need an odd number of monitors for multi-screen gaming in order to avoid the bezel problem.
True save for a few exceptions, such as games made to support multi-monitor natively, where you could keep the regular screen on one and another with dials or something such as a flight sim.
I'd say you need an odd number only in 1 to 3 though, 4, 6 and 8 can work just fine.

ct_viewport is a mod that lets me center my screen and size it anywhere. I put my 3d viewport on the right screen and everything else on the left.
I gave up on softth a while ago, but I may try it again. I am really missing 2 screens.
Edit: Alternatively, if anyone has a Digital Dual Head 2 Go just lying around, feel free to donate it to the cause. :)
