kubuntu 9.10 dual monitor setup

[ted leslie]

doesnt  nvidia-settings (or other nvidia app) just allow you to config it? it does for me.
however for rotation of one of my monitors i did find i have to go in an edit the xorg file,
but for a non rotated set up, the nvidia configuration gui util (which auto updates the xorg file) 
work great. Just select the view type you want, i.e. mirror, twinview, or whatever, and it does what you want.
