[ubuntu-uk] Dual Monitor set up NVIDIA Twinview

Change the primary monitor in nvidia-settings to be the second one.

If you save the config, and after a reboot it fails, all you have to do is delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reboots are not necessary, use ctr+alt+backspace to restart X.

Thanks, so can I select the primary display and restart X to see if its
working, without committing to saving the x config.

Yes, I knew that :-), I was just scared to save and re-boot into something
that might not work.
