OK, I finally got around to trying this, but no it doesn't work. When |
| 16 |
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). |

'.nvidia-settings-rc-twin' (the currently enabled display devices are |
| 24 |
DFP-0 on orpheus:0.0). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And this is when using the config file I saved with two screens working. |
| 27 |
I have to run nvidia-settings by hand and select "detect displays" |
| 28 |
before DFP-2 appears. |

Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember |
| 35 |
and be sad. |
