I got twin-view working properly this morning. After some research and a few failed attempts at copying and pasting I simply had to add a few lines to the "Device" section my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Option "TwinView" "True"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "True"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
I did get GNOME to be the default desktop manager. I wasen't careful in editing my /etc/X11/default-display-manager file:
To use GNOME:/usr/sbin/gdm
To use KDE:/usr/bin/kdm
NO MORE VI !!! Man I hate VI; Kate's much nicer; but I was glad to have it to edit those nasty config files under the root account. Just got one more trick up my sleeve. Instead of doing su and then vi; I use this command instead:
gksudo gedit xorg.conf
