Title:
  Two external monitors preferences lost when restarting

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  lsb_release -rd: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) (beta1)

  I have a Dell XPS 1530, and using nvidia 195.36.15 driver

  I have my notebook connected to 2 external screens. One via VGA port,
  and the other via the HDMI port. When I go to nvidia-settings, i can
  see both monitors and enable both in TwinView. I click on "Save to X
  Configuration File" and everything seems to work OK.

  But when I log out and then log in, these preferences are lost, the
  VGA monitor is the only screen visible, and I have to reconfigure it.

  This was working perfectly on Karmic
