Re: dual monitors and dual desktops

Do you have an nvidia video card? If so I would recommend running
nvidia-setting to configure your displays. This is what I use after
trying {a,x,g}randr. I found it a little easier to use with an on-screen
view of how my monitors would display. Look under the "X Server Display
Configuration" section. It should be fairly easy to set up. I launch it
from my startup file because writing out the config to xorg.conf after I
change my display layout doesnt succeed for reasons i cant remember.
