How do I change my dual screen nvidia settings?

[Dhoffryn]

I succeeded in getting dual monitor support form my geforce 7950gx2. (it is a sli card with two cards in one)
Happy with that. But the "problem" is that it now spans the desktop over two screens.
I would like two separate desktops. When I maximize a window it would maximize it to one screen instead of spreading it out over two.

My guess is use the "separate X screen" option in the nvidia settings menu.
BUT that doesn't work. I get a lot of warnings that not all the changes could be applied. I attached the warning.

What should I do? Can I get twin monitor support the way I am used to it?

I believe it's just telling you that it can't start using all the options right away and you will have to restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) to get all your changes to take effect. Go ahead and save the changes and restart and see if it helps.

Before you do, though, make sure you back up /etc/X11/xorg.conf so you can revert to it if you have a problem restaring X.
