I have a problem getting dual monitors to work correctly with twinview
enabled. I have two flat panel lcd's connected to a geforce 6600gt
card. one 19' connected via DVI and primary, one 17' connected via
analog and physically located to the right of the primary.

After installing the nvidia drivers and i have tried this on Fedora
RC4, and Ubuntu my monitor on the right suddenly becomes my primary
forcing me to work right to left doing anything. I have tried
changing the physical connections on the video card to no avail and i
get the same result. This is true even in windows but its easy to
resolve using the nvidia utilities. Can anyone help me in resolving
this? I have included the relevant sections from xorg.conf

Thanks,
