From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can't seem to get dual monitor working properly on X12 (lemmy.world)

Basically what happens is my monitors are positioned incorrectly. So the monitor that should be to the right is to the left and vice versa. This makes using my setup quite difficult, since I have to move the mouse to the left to get to the monitor that's physically on my right side. Can someone show me an example configuration for xorg.conf? I am using the proprietary Nvidia driver if that changes anything. I also have an Intel integrated GPU but I don't really need an hybrid graphics setup for now, and want to use my Nvidia GPU.

if you are on nvidia, just set them up from nvidia-settings, you can move them around and then save the configuration
