Your config is saying there's DFP-1 but the driver sees it as DFP-0 and that there's no DFP-1 so it removes DFP-1 from being available. You probably need to clean up your config to something like... Option "TwinView" "1" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0" Option "metamodes" "CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0, DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" Which I believe is what you're trying to do where your right hand monitor is your main monitor and your desktop extends onto the left hand side. Either way, you can probably run nvidia-xconfig and have it redo your configs for you. I haven't tried using nvidia-xconfig quite yet, but I think DFP-0 is actually the laptop's LCD screen. I filed a bug report with nVidia, but I haven't heard anything back. I'm still using the deleted ebuild for version 275.09.07 (which has dependencies on older versions of xorg). If cleaning up xorg.conf doesn't work, do you think nouveau might be worth a shot? Have you fixed your xorg.conf yet? Switching to nouveau over this is like changing banks cause you can't remember your PIN # and don't want to go in and ask them to reset it. (In reply to comment #5) > Have you fixed your xorg.conf yet?

I apologize for the delay (I've been in the middle of a move across the country). I was able to get the driver to recognize DFP-0, and utilize it in TwinView. However, the driver enumerates DFP-0 as the laptop's LCD screen, instead of the monitor connected via DVI. So, I can get TwinView to work now, but it only works with the laptop screen and one of the two Samsung monitors. I had to disassemble my desk, but I should be putting everything back together in the next couple weeks or so. I would be able to test more at that point, but I'm kind of stuck on my laptop for a while. >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-302.17 resolves this issue
