How can I reset dual display to one screen from command line and set old second screen as main display? (12.04 + nvidia)

see this question on a similar topic, and the docs for NvidiaMultiMonitors and DynamicMultiMonitor. – Eliran Malka Oct 25 '12 at 11:57
you'd probably want to check out the nvidia-xconfig man page as well. it's all there. – Eliran Malka Oct 25 '12 at 12:00

I would recommend installing disper, a command line display manager.

Then you can do disper -S to make secondary only, or disper -e -t left to extend to the left for example.

Install via the software center
