Hi!

Thanks - 

Trying to remove the xorg.conf does work - Then the setup works fine
when logged in, but then it is problematic in the lightdm login (The
screens are in the wrong order and doesn't honor my pivot setup, but
this fixes itself when logging in - I guess this is Xfce screen
settings that activates here, you probably know better) -

If I generate a xorg.conf in nvidia-settings and save to /etc/X11/ I
run into the problems described in my original post to this bug. (But
then the lightdm login is correct regarding to positions and pivot).

I guess I could use xrandr to set up it properly also in lightdm.

Sorry for being a bit of a noob when it comes to X / Nvidia setting
up, I could probably use some hints on how to set it up.
