Dual Monitor Layout Rearranges

Post by cbriarnold »

Linux Mint 14 Nadia
NVIDIA GeForce GT 445M using NVIDIA proprietary driver

I will connect my external monitor via HDMI to my computer. I will set the layout to have my second screen to the left of my laptop screen. Eventually, the monitor layout will change and my second screen will be laid out to the right of my laptop screen. This does not seem to happen at any specific time. Here is the end of my xorg log.
