For the nVidia one, are you using the nVidia X server setting applet?

Yes, I am. I used the nvidia-xconfig program to set the initial display configuration. I believe I used the options "--twinview --dynamic-twinview" when I ran it. Here's the relevant sections from /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce 8400 GS" EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "1" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0" Option "metamodes" "DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection
As you can see, I've got one monitor on the DVI connection and one on the VGA. Both monitors are the same resolution, 1920x1080.
Oddly, it only shows one "Monitor" section in the file, the one for the DVI connection. I believe this is an artefact of the dynamic-twinview option, the second monitor appears to be detected on-the-fly.
Any thoughts?
