If you are using a DE there should be a tool which can use xrandr to
configure monitors. I use dwm so no point-and-click for me.

I forget to say: I don't know if you might need to use a newer xorg as
nVidia joined the xrandr bandwagon so late, the might not support older
xrandr versions. But as you say it works, I guess nVidia supports older
xrandr as well :)
