Re: using 2 monitors with my laptop

run

nvidia-settings

Then go to, "X Server Display Configuration"
In it there's a button called "Detect Displays"

When click it, it will detect if you have other displays attached.

After detection,
Select the correct monitor in the Layout-> go to Configure
Select the required option(TwinView etc.)
Press OK and it is done!
