Public bug reported:

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
