OK, I finally got around to trying this, but no it doesn't work. When
trying to switch from laptop-only to laptop and LCD I just get:
ERROR: Invalid display device DFP-2 specified on line 40 of configuration file
'.nvidia-settings-rc-twin' (the currently enabled display devices are
DFP-0 on orpheus:0.0).
ERROR: Invalid display device DFP-2 specified on line 42 of configuration file
'.nvidia-settings-rc-twin' (the currently enabled display devices are
DFP-0 on orpheus:0.0).
And this is when using the config file I saved with two screens working.
I have to run nvidia-settings by hand and select "detect displays"
before DFP-2 appears.
ideas? thanks,

Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember
and be sad.
