I am going to try to configure using nvidia-settings but why should I have to? 
Every other distro works, even opensuse 10.2 worked until the 100.14.19 
driver was installed. To me, in an enterprise environment how is one to try 
to do these work arounds? To me this is something very very very trivial, I 
am sure many use docking stations and external monitors. 

Once I setup on Monday with nvidia-settings I will see if it keeps the monitor 
in xorg. 

Any body else have a thought about this? Anyone else experiencing this?
