TwinView + Dual Monitor + Disable Problem - Seeking Help

[andddlay]

Hello. I just installed Ubuntu on my parents computer for they haven't had the greatest luck with Windows. They have dual monitors, and I want Ubuntu to use them properly.

I have it set up right now and it is working great, but once I restart the computer, the right screen displays the main login screen, but the black one is turned off. I see in the NVIDIA X Server Settings that after restarting the computer, the left one becomes disabled. To make it working like it was before the restart, I had to fiddle with the Position option on NVIDIA X Server Settings. I want the left screen to stay on after boot, obviously, with the panels on the left side.

The left screen is a Dell monitor 1280x1024 (I checked the box making this the primary display for the X screen), and the right is a Gateway monitor 1024x768.

Should have the latest drivers, and I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. Visual Effects is set to normal (should this be set to none? - the problem persists whether or not that change is applied).

I tried to be as specific as I can, but if more information is required, I will be glad to explain. Help would be much appreciated.

Thank you :)

I'd like to add that when I click, "Save to X Configuration File," it gives the the error, "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"

I searched a lot before, but some more searching lead me to this thread:
