How to fix error with xconfig not saving with Dual Monitors Nvidia
|

This is my first tutorial, it will be very short. There is not much to it at all really.
I found this out when it was happening to me. When you have 2 monitors and you try to save the twin view, you get an error (sometimes).
To fix:
1. Open Terminal.
2. Type "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
3. Type "sudo nvidia-settings"
4. Setup the way you want. Click on save.
5. Enjoy.
That is all. Hope this helps out someone.

This same method can be used for setting up any nVidia card (not just dual monitors). Also, if you do already have settings in your xorg.conf, it's a good idea to back it up, in the rare case something goes wrong.
You should use gksudo in Gnome or kdesudo in KDE not sudo to run graphical applications from the terminal.
