Alright.. I've lost most of my hair from pulling it out in the past 2 days, skimmed over the forums plenty of times in search for something I've overlooked.

I have an Nvidia 7600GTX, and 2, 20" LCD's, 1600x1200

After enabling the 177 drivers, restarting x a couple times it finally recognizes the 1st LCD, and it works fine, I launch nvidia-settings (as root) and I am then able to enable the 2nd, it detects it as the same monitor (Viewsonic VP2030)..

As of right now I'm in unbuntu how I want my monitors to be, both 1600x1200, DVI-D, TwinView, fantastic... I've saved xorg.conf... now, I've done this countless times to this point

when I reboot next, it will boot up.... try and launch X, my LCD's will receive a signal thats some stupid 4092x3 or something wacky, and nothing will be displayed, I then ahve to hard-reboot, get to a root prompt and mess about xorg.conf to get back in only to do this all over again

How can I MAKE SURE what I have setup RIGHT NOW will retain when I reboot next?
