Tripple monitor settings

[Lampshader]

Hi guys,
Iv'e just gotten rid of windows on my main pc and now running ubuntu on all 4 pc's. My problem is that i am using 3 monitors on 2 different graphics cards. a GTX280 and 8800gt. What is happening is that i can get 2 monitors to go twin view but the second on the other card wont. I have tried having all different X screens and i cannot move the monitors into the right positions. Instead of having the screens going
1 2 3
they go
3 2 1

I cannot get them to rearrange and make monitor 2 the main monitor i have tried all the settings i can in nvidia's X server. any help to even point me in the right direction would be great.

i'd like to know if anyone has got the nvidia app to let them re-order the screens - mine won't either.

also the 'Save to X Config File' button doesn't work.

Did you already try to set them up with xorg.conf?

Ok i managed to get all screens working in the right positions now. the only problem i have is that all screens are separate X screens with the main screen with the pannels on the right. is there anyway to change this in separate X screens. it's not the end of the world as the positions are right but it would be nice if the main monitor was the middle one.
the xconfig is below if it helps

Your xorg.conf is a bit out of control. LOL :D
3 "Monitor" sections, 1 "Device" section and zero "Screen" sections!
You should have 3 of each, then you would also have panels on each of them.
I post you the dual screen config of my mom, with an ATI card.
