Dual Monitors on Ubuntu (with NVidia cards)

I found an excellent article on setting up Dual Monitors on Ubuntu (for those of you who have NVidia Graphics Cards). Here it is:

I followed the instructions and it worked for me :)

Here is my "xorg.conf" file BEFORE the changes:

Section "Screen"
Identifier      "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth    24
Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier      "Default Device"
Driver  "nvidia"
Option  "NoLogo"        "True"
EndSection

... and this is AFTER the changes:

Section "Screen"
Identifier      "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth    24
Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024 1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier      "Default Device"
Driver  "nvidia"
Option  "NoLogo"        "True"
EndSection

Looking forward for some increased productivity ;)
