I have an Nvida 9600 GT with dual monitor setup. I have found that if I $ sudo nvidia-settings after 2 or 3 attempts it does what I am asking but I get the following errors in terminal: shane@Aspire-8930:~$ sudo nvidia-settings [sudo] password for shane:

Why is this not working, It would be nice to just plug in a monitor/projector auto detect and apply settings without having to do this everytime.
