i've been attempting different configs i've had for the past few hours, trying new things as well... no luck
I swapped the plugs on the videocard ports physically and now my 19" is being seen as primary as opposed to the 15" being the only one working all the time.
tomorrow I'm gonna try earlier drivers. I read constantly about people claiming victory, but citing 8147 nvidia driver, whereas i use 8178.
I cleaned up my config a bit, read all about xorg.conf in the man pages. read nvidia's readme up and down.
but for now i must sleep ;-p
i keep getting the same Xorg.0.log Warning as the only indication that something is wrong
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed;
(WW) NVIDIA(0): using first display
here's my latest xorg.conf:
