    Huh? wasn't a problem for me. Maybe because I have nvidia display. I 
enalbed restricted drivers, added nvsettings, made sure nvsettings ran 
with the gksudo command. Then used nvsettings to set Twinview, enable 
the second, etc... There is an option in there to save to 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. But mine works just dandy, so I don't need to tweak 
the config file...
