Barry,

Which video card do you have? I'm running an Nvidia 8600GTS with 8.10
and have two monitors working now. I ran nvidia-settings and
configured the monitors the way I wanted them. I then saved the
xorg.conf to my home directory.  I then made a backup of the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file and copied the new xorg.conf to /etc/X11. Now,
I get the two monitors working the way I want even after a reboot.
