I have an Nvidia card and I'm using NVIDIA Driver Version: 304.51 and the NVIDIA X Server Settings GUI.
Everything works fine but when I reboot and login again both my two screens are set to +0 +0 so they mirror each other...
I change the settings to screen 2 (NEC LED) to be left of screen 1 (DELL) click Apply and Save to X Configuration File... It all works but when I login again the settings are not remembered...
This is my xorg config file, can anyone help out?
