Just did this yesterday. Took one minute. All I did was
System/Prefs/Display or run gnome-display-properties -- I didn't need to
sudo. (If you want to overwrite xorg.conf, then you'll need to sudo, but
I wouldn't do that if I were you. YMMV.)

You do all the work in 'X Server Display Config'. I activated TwinView
under Configure... and everything autodetected and just worked.
